So i've been thinking about starting a project but I just cant decide what I want to do. I have had 2 ideas.
1) build a shotgun or sniper rifle replica.
2) build a rocket launcher.

#1 would be the easiest one to do, all I would need is an old rifle stock and to try and find a way to set up a new feed system.

#2 might take a while but would be really cool if I could do it. I was thinking I would cut the barrel down and weld it or thread it onto another barrel that a rocket would fit into. the hard part would be getting enough air to shoot the rocket (I dont think the trracer has any type of adjustment to do so)

what one does everyone think I should do.
does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions or tips that I could use?

by the way the sniper rifle would be a bolt action:D and the mock scope would be the hopper

If you pull the barrel off and look down it there is an allen head screw. Take a long allen wrench and stick in there, that is how you adjust velocity.

not the old ones......they did make a part to change that but I have no idea where to find it

I tried this type of thing and the problem is that there just isnt enough volume to get the rocket out further then ten yards. you need an incredibly heavy spring on the one side and almost no spring on the other and what will likely happen is the heavy spring will hold open the valve until its recocked, which wont be easy to do because of the heavy spring and the freezing co2

I looked at a number of industrial applications as well and concluded that its cheaper to just buy a havoc or mkx launcher.... I have seen the mkx on ebay for $200... that may be an easier way to go
