This one will be a little bigger. It'll have a 4" chamber, basically the same metering system, a new ignition system, and it'll use the same breech loading system. I hope to get into the hardware store tomorrow or sunday and buy some plastic.

Cant Wait!

why not use compressed air?

Mostly because of the air compressor factor. A suitable air compressor is expensive, especially at the size I'm at. Even if you already have a nice air compressor, it's more difficult to haul around and you'll need a power source everwhere you go. And then at the size of gun I'm building, you'd need a hell of a valve. Those run for a lot of money too...
