The game of paintball has been around for some time now. It is a very interesting game where participants use some kind of gun to shoot each other. In case you do not have the money to get yourself a good paintball gun. Do not fret, there is a way out. You can actually make you own gun which is equally as effective. This is how to make a paintball gun. This gun is made using some pretty common supplies that can be sourced from the house as well as the local stores. This approach is very cost effective as you will end spending a very small fraction of what you’d have spent if you had opted to buy the paintball gun from your local store.
These are some of the things that you will need for this small project, a nail driller, plumber’s saw, plumber’s tape, glue, cement and primer. Others include several PVC based supplies such as ¾ inch PVC barrel that has a suitable length, a one inch PVC of equal length the previous one, two one inch elbows made from PVC and two one inch tees from PVC material that have to e marked Z and Y respectively while their straight ends are marked Z1, Z2, Y1 and Y2 they also have their perpendicular sides marked Z3 and Z4.
You will also need a one inch PVC end cap, three ¾ inch PVC ball valve, reducer, nipple and a tire valve used for replacement purposes. Start with the gun’s structure where you will need to attach the 2 elbows of PVC to each end of the one inch PVC that you had cut previously. Use the other piece to attach the two PVC tees using cement and primer. One end should be the Z3 one while the other should be Y1. Next make sure to connect the two pieces with some cement and primer which will result in some box shape.
Get the ball valve and attach to the nipple that has been attached to Y2. Get hold of the barrel and attach it to the ball valve using screws. Come up with a big hole at the end cap for the valve replacement tire using a drill. Use glue to fix the end cap and the valve. Cut some 9 inch long from the one inch PVC piping and cement the Z2 end to the PVC. Lastly cement the PVC just attached to the end cap. There you have it; you have just learnt how to make a paintball gun.
