I love it, how have you sealed the 3 sub barrels into the 'over barrel' to stop air leaking out?
And is that a detergent bottle for a handle, if so extra ghetto points

[Mr Chambers]

Ha ha! Unfortunatly, all is not as it seems. The trigger is actually a long reach lighter thing and its bloody broken Im going to replace it with a bbq lighter and a pistol grip from an airsoft shotgun. Its black and fits nicely. Bhe barrels will be sealed with hot glue....Once I get some

So its not as finished as it looks. Ive fired it a few times. It works great... but cheap supplies dont last long! Also the chamber and barrel are from a pond pump fountain extension!

It really is mini now I've looked at it more closely
What are the cut outs on the ends of the barrels for? I'm guessing to aid breach loading, or they were just already there in something else you cannibalised

[inonickname]

I'm looking at it and thinking... "great, another guy who calls aluminum pipe you buy from (hardware store) mini" and then I look again, and see the part of the long nosed igniter..

Pretty cool, but I'd like to see how it performs..

[rocker9455]

Thats so awesome can we a video once you get it working

[Mr Chambers]

Yes I tore apart an airsoft gun xD The cut outs are where the where the hop up rubbers go. Im going to put something there... possibly a washer to Just hold the bbs in place. I ordered my ignitor so It should be working again somethime soon! And yes I shall get some videos!

If the washing up bottle didn't have the lid, it would look a lot less ghetto and really good. I like the design, but imagine it's a bit fiddly having to load 3 barrels with BBs every time?

Edit: sounds a bit mean; I do really like it.

[inonickname]

That's not a washing up bottle Bio..Think long nosed lighter

[Biopyro]

Ah I thought it looked pretty tiny! That puts it into perspective much more. The red bit just looks like a lid.

[Jogumpie]

I can never get a combustion to fire, let alone a mini. Something about me just makes them fail, so i'm all the more amazed by what you've done.

[Biopyro]

I know what you mean Jogumpie, that is the one thing I dislike about combustions. Were it not for their unreliability when using unmetered fuel I'd probably have never even built a pneumatic!

[Jogumpie]

Yes! Finally someone who understands me! I'm all pneumatic though, because of the high pressures you can put into them. (hint hint!)

[Mr Chambers]

OK haven't updated this in a while, 3 barrels sucked no power.. I dunno if there was a leak round the barrels or something. Eventually managed to get the thing to fire consistently when my igniter broke. So I binned the whole project. Now I've started a mark II I aint done much work on it yet, but heres a peek. Im hoping the barrel will take paint balls, But i have a feeling the tube is tapered So it might be a splat gun. If thats the case Ill put a bit of 15mm copper in there.

There is no denying that it looks absolutely brilliant.. A perfect little fun gun and very neat and smooth to boot. What's fuelling it like? Can you make it fire consistently or is it hit and miss with such a small chamber?
Also what's the handle from?

Its pretty consistent actually. 6 seconds of fuel. Anything over that it can be a bit iffy, also the handle is off an air soft shotgun that I lost my temper with ha ha
