This is my marble gun. It was used in the wall of doom ( http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5330& ) and for the damage and also in the accurate marble ammo how to ( http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5316& ). It has a 2 inch by 1 1/2 foot chamber and a 3 foot 1/2inch barrel. Its breech loading but the breach doesnt seal. I really need to paint it but here it is. The pictures are in no perticular order.

wow, verrrrrrrrrrry nice. how did you space out and drill those holes on the barrel shroud so perfectly? I want to do that, but when I try, It turns out looking like crap.

I love the spring loaded breach !! Thats pretty cool. It looks like a classic sprinkler valve pneumatic. Is it just me or are we like the only ones posting?

Everyone else hates me because my guns are so much more awesomer then theirs Oh and for the barrel shoud it took me about an hour and a half of measuring and drawing strait lines. You have to start out by drawing a x on one end of the pipe.



Then look down the pipe and draw a point that lines up strait with a point on the x. Now get a ruler and a connect the 2 lines together. Measure out the distance that you wont your holes to be at and put dots there.Now do it 3 more times and your done!

yeah, it seems that way...

ok, I get it now. I am going to make a barrel shroud with 3 inch for the 20' aluminum barrel

Well you dont make an X on the other end of the pipe. You make a mark half way down the pipe.



then you draw a strait line connecting those 2 lines. Its hard to explain without you being here.

Ummm....Nice feet, and nice gun while im at it, How did you drill the hole for the breech so nice?did you use a dremel? When I try to do mine they always turn out like shit as I use a angle grinder its really really fast

I just used a spaid(sp) drill bit. Wow, doing it with an ankle grinder would be scary. I would have all ready cut my whole hand off!

ahh, angle grinders aren't scary! you just have to know how to use one.

I have used one before and I touched it down to the metal and almost ripped out of my hands. That was when I was 11 though. It reminds me of the time when I was 8 and my dad let me shoot his .22 pistol. I didnt know what blow back was and put my thumb on the side that moves back and forth when you fire. I shot it and when It moves back forward it ripped my skin off with it. It hurt soo bad.

So is typical marble size 1/2''?

yeah. The ones I got are. My friend gave my huge amounts of them so Im set for life.

Oh cool i have a spade drill bit,but last time I tried it with the spade bit it ripped the pipe open Ankle grinders are scary but angle grinders arn't

Hey, I have all this 1/2'' pipe laying around in my garage, I think its for making a mosquito net frame or something. I wonder if I can talk my dad into letting me use that
Hey I just found out these little ball bearings from this magnetic thing my sisters have fits perfectly in it.

Awesome find! Thats soo cool. Those are kinda like what I have but I got mine from shop class.
