Breach loader

This is my breach load system for the main gun in my tank. I only post this because I haven't seen anybody do this.......but I may be mistaken

Excuse all the other crap this is the third gun set up and there are a few pieces left over...




I started out with a section of 2"pvc. I cut a hole in the side about an inch from the bottom, just big enough for a nerf to fit in.

Then I got a section of exhaust pipe that would fit snugly over the pvc. cut a hole to match the pvc. and welded a end cap on with a 3/4 pipe fitting on the end for the air to enter.

I also cut a groove in the pvc around the hole to put a square cut o-ring in to help seal between the pvc and exhaust pipe.

Now just slide a nerf in and twist the metal pipe and fire. With 30 psi I get over 300 feet at about 30 degrees.




This photo you can just see the yellow o-ring










I fill this tank off the main tank (5gal.) or off a co2 bottle.






I used this set up because I messed up the gun mount and I don't have much room when the gun is elevated or when I turn the turret.

Anyway hope it comes in handy for someone else some day.

Happy hunting !!

I consider myself a paintball tank expert. And I have to say I am so jealous of your tank. Awesome tank and set up.
