I am Sixteen years old, love to build things, and am as responsible as an intelligent teenager can be.
I've only two guns (Technically they belong to my two siblings as well.) at this moment in time, and they aren't made very well to boot.
Easter basket water guns, you know. One is a simple piston squirt gun, and
the other is an air pressure chamber type gun with a swiveling nozzle head.
Now, on to the meat of this post.
I have been reading about home-made guns for a little while, soaking (Yes, a pun that was not intended.) as much information as possible into my head.
I would very much like to build what you call an "APH." I've read the guide on making Doom's APH, and have decided on making that.
Being One-Hundred percent customizable, yet having little over-all information about home-mades, I've stumbled into a maze of questions...
I like the ability to use a backpack reservoir, but only know of the garbage-bag method. Although useful, I would much rather prefer a reservoir on the gun, perhaps with the option to attach it to a backpack reservoir.
Is this possible?
One thing that seems out of place is the block of styrofoam, as I think something else would be much better suited to fit in that position. But that is just my sense of overall 'look' of the finished project. I like the look of a 'Frankenstein's Monster' type object, but the block looks out of place.
Being that this will be the first time I've worked with PVC, it will be a fun endeavor to say the least. But in that same line of thought, I'm also new to building water-guns, obvious or not, it means that I'm not accustomed to terms, specifications, and even just designing the gun.
Now, just a short list, in the case you don't care to read the above.
- I would like to build Doom's APH.
- Can I build a reservoir onto the gun, and still be able to use a backpack?
- What can I use as a substitute to the block of styrofoam?
