I use 1/2" PVC. It's a perfect fit over the orange tip and you can cut it to any size. It's a snug fit.

👏👏👏 I've been looking up how to make this toy more powerful. This was one of my ideas, but I applaud you for using a bill paper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I also found another video were someone did a teardown, and there's a sealed cylinder with a spring, kinda like the first airsoft guns. So, even though it's more work, all you have to do is get into that, stretch the compressor spring and reseal the cylinder with super glue. Thus giving the toy more power. But you have shown me how to make it more precise in a way. I'll do some testing 👍👍👍

Great video dude. I tried this a few days ago, it definitely works. It seems to about double the effective range from the muzzles end, and with a longer barrel, you can get it closer to the bugs without them flying away.

Mine won't be in until tomorrow. But I've already been thinking of getting a smaller diameter piece of tube to act as a choke on a shotgun without extending the barrel to much lol maybe put a spacer behind the spring to give it a little more power if the barrel mod didn't help. Basically I work in the fertilizer industry and we have no shortage of flies in the summer.

My dog ate mine, i baught a new one but the old one still works, so what i did was creat a complete monstrosity out of 1" pvc and a stupid amount of glue and primer and did exactly what you did, then i did something else really dumb and i took the leftover 1" pvc cut in in half hot dog style down the pipe about 2 1/2" and heated it up and formed it to match the back of the gun and also used a stupid ass load of pvc glue and primer and a couple of wood screws to hold it in place, it looked like complete dogshit but then i trimmed the edges, and then got a JB weld steel stick epoxy puddy, formed it real well and filled in the gaps, wraped the barrel with sand paper and adhesive spray, painted it with epoxy resin spray paint, and glued a pvc 90 onto the stock with a little piece sticking down for shoulder rest and it damn near looks like a real shot gun at this point

A longer barrel will decrease velocity. It's not a firearm.

@nicedward7544 10 ай бұрын

How??? It is an air gun. The longer distance the forced air is going through the barrel the more velocity the projectile will have.... It's not rocket science. There will be dropoff at some point but I don't think anyone is going to put a 22 inch barrel on it. I'm sure with the minimal amount of air being pushed it would be bad after 10 inches or so but effectively doubling or tripling it's 2 inch barrel most definitely helps with velocity

You get more velocity on a regular gun because of the rifling on the barrel 😂 this will give you a tighter spread but you’re not gaining velocity

@drunkMrPOE Жыл бұрын

Thank u for being a sound of reason in a sea full of idiots. If anything... this is reducing the velocity

@gonzob9609 Жыл бұрын

Rifling just spins the bullet for stability. Length of barrel increases velocity in a firearm by allowing the powder to burn longer, and keeps accelerating the bullet. Short barrels a lot of powder is unburnt leaving the muzzle after the bullet leaves, and is no longer putting pressure on the bullet. How that translates to a a Bug A Salt don't know. The blowgun analogy seems like a good one to me. Longer air pressure should continue to accelerate the salt. Smaller diameter the better the seal, and velocity. I'll have to take mine mine apart, and see how it works. Has to be a spring that can be stiffer.

@yungploomer6476 Жыл бұрын

@@gonzob9609 fair enough. Let me know what you find!

@nicedward7544 10 ай бұрын

Same goes for pellet rifles. The barrel is so short on the bug and the pressure isn't crazy so there will be a sweet spot. Double or triple the barrel length and it will probably help. There will be a point of drop off at a certain length though that will slow it down. What that length is idk. I can swap barrels on my pcp airgun and it can make a 30fpe difference just from having an extra 8 inches

@ryanford736 2 ай бұрын

Rifling won't help because this is like a shotgun. If the bug a salt uses air pressure, then the air will continue to accelerate until pressures equalize. So a longer barrel should help power. Also, a stiffer spring should give it more power. Accuracy could possibly be improved by having a choked barrel. If you don't know, that means making the business end of the barrel minutely smaller.
