If you're going for a more "rifle-like WBL", I suggest you read my article on my Nerf gun/WBL. The gun got about 75 feet of range at 40 psi with a 19 cubic inch chamber and a 6" barrel of 2" PVC. With some more pressure, it could get about 80 to 90 feet.

Thanks Drench, but that is kind of what gave me the idea in the first place. After thinking about the design while I was iin bed last night, I've decided to give two pressure tanks, in an over-under position under the barrel. The PC's will probably be the same size as what Drench has just mentioned. Pressurization will be with the PPT, which should give me roughly 15 shots before I need to go back to base and recharge.
