This my Proto-type 10mm AirSoft gun. I was board about a month ago and was looking for a rainy-day project to monkey around with. I happened to come across a web forum called NERFHAVEN, similar to CASTBOOLITS in that its a group of people interested in building, modifying and shooting guns except theirs shoot foam darts! Having several 6mm soft-air guns around the house, I felt some of their designs could be scaled to shoot a 10mm pellet.
And this is the result: A breach loading, pump-action spring powered air-gun, I am working on a 30 round tube magazine too. I may be jumping the gun a little, however I wanted to begin test firing and working out the bugs before the project progressed any further.
It shoots fairly hard as the dent in my steel garage door will attest to and has an effective range of about 90 feet currently. The barrel is only about 16 inches, so the entire available air volume is not being used. I also need to work on a way to hold the round in place to increase start pressure.
If you are wondering what it shoots the answer is: 10mm fake pearls with no holes!
