@@JamiesBrickJams you could also attempt at making a brace that grips your arm, though I think making a basic stock, even one made out purely Technic beams and connectors as a sort of wire stock, would be easier.
I've actually tried 4 tanks on a single barrel! It's a little stronger, but a bit underwhelming as each tank is bottlenecked by their small outlets. But perhaps some modifications to the tanks would be worth messing with!
@@JamiesBrickJams yeeah the key is to maximize peak pressure and its duration on the chamber. We (or just you, for that matter lol) could do some calculations to make a super-strong sniper rifle haha!
@@JamiesBrickJamsplastic bottles can hold a ton of pressure if you seal them right, with a valve instead of crimping the pipe, you could shoot at pressures up to 8 bar
I would like to see if you could actually make something to automatically close the tubes or to just block airflow from going through the metal tubes instead of over and over, pulling that lever forward.
A thought on accuracy: one of the main two ways, historically, that have been used to produce more accurate projectiles, has either been thru endusing a spin in the projectile, usually through rifling. Or, by using fins. Rifling takes Very precise machining, or 3d printing, and might not work well with LEGO products. So, I think your best best might be to use a Discarding Sabot type of projectile. By encasing the projectile in a casing that keeps it flush against the walls of the barrel, and putting fins on the projectile, you should be able to produce a far more accurate hit, without sacrificing power. I'd suggest giving it a look for V4!
Small tip for the hose connection to the bottle, you can connect the hose to the t-junction then thread the hose through the hole instead of the juntcion first, thus getting a tighter seal. You'll need a slightly larger hole but it'll work better since you can use higher pressure
@@JamiesBrickJams No problem, another advantage is the higher pressure will give a tighter seal thus enabling even higher pressures. The highest I've dared is 9 bar so it should be plenty. Wouldn't recommend it for pneumatic engines though since it's a bit much for the pistons😅
I reckon it should be pretty straightforward for anyone to replicate from my video here! Though I know there's still loads of room for improvements to it
Hey, I really like your videos. Also, do you know shrapnel? He made a really powerful lego gun with elastic bands. Could you try to make it even more powerful? I will appreciate a lot if you'll do it!
I just recently saw some of his videos - absolutely love them! He's got some truly ridiculous power out of a few of them. I may experiment with powerful rubber in the future, but for now I'll leave those in his capable hands 😜
btw, sometimes air or gasses can mess up the calculation of the cronograph (i heard) and also, what if you make it so its a break action? that you break it (fold it open) and put the bullets in that way (and maybe put a ring on the axles for schell ejection! and also that the bullets stay put while shooting )
Really nice! What if you took some concepts from other lego guns on yt such as magazines? Maybe you could even divert some air to create artificial recoil. Would be even cooler!
you could try to add automatic reload, except the bullets, either battery powered, or doing it the fancy way with the air storage as a multi-purpose part 😁
How many PSI are you charging those air tanks to? I would assume that the system is bottlenecked by small diameter tubing having low airflow, so a higher pressure would help without having to modify any parts. Though you could try drilling out the outlets of the tanks to a slightly larger diameter.
You're totally right, that bottleneck is quite frustrating. I was only pumping this up to about 50 psi at most, but I like your idea of just pushing through the bottleneck with higher pressures. I think cola bottles can take quite a bit more pressure, so it might be worth creating better seals and pushing the pressure even higher!
@@JamiesBrickJams My understanding is that Cola bottles can take 60 psi safely and potentially up to 90 at the risk of them exploding. Or you can just look it up, I'm pretty sure other people have tested it.
Yeah I think it's around that neighbourhood. I remember being surprised when I looked it up - was much higher than I expected. Will see what I can do 😉
I've actually made a few in the past. A powerful whipper trebuchet is on the bucket list! Great suggestion though, there's a lot of potential in siege engines 😁

I would recommend adding a stock to help with aiming. This way you can stabilize your Lego weapons better.
Not a bad idea, would probably make the handling significantly better
@@JamiesBrickJams you could also attempt at making a brace that grips your arm, though I think making a basic stock, even one made out purely Technic beams and connectors as a sort of wire stock, would be easier.
Ŵ²q@@doctortwilight
Maybe use worm gears as riveling
@@leonhardmollney8638 that's impossible and would be useless anyways
all 3 airtanks to one barrel would be insane😯

@@JamiesBrickJams longer barrel might help
Just wait until the pressure goes up to 16 bar, the pipes increase to 12 mm and the valve gets upgraded to a high speed electro-mechanical one
Nah, this thing is way too overkill, it could kill a person with the right pressure. Also, can you give schematics for your builds?
Bruh wtf are u saying. You need like 1000 FPS for this projectile to kill someone
The pressures required for it to be lethal are a lot higher than what a lego gun could handle, though
I mean it as a joke.
I mean it as a joke.
@@abdullahajeebi ...clearly it wasn't a particularly good one
I took inspiration from you and started building my own weapons myself. Thank you
Awesome, glad to be of service 😉 Good luck with your builds!
I'm drafting you to my team during the Apocalypse
Loool😂😂😂😂
Bro is a official arms dealer now
👀
Next step is to figure out a way to make/use rifled barrels. That would help ameliorate the projectiles rotating sideways once they leave the barrel.
We went from small generators to full on pneumatic shotguns, Well done!
Haha bit of a destructive streak recently 😅
Ah yes, Lego. The next logical step in Warfare Advancement.
Ooh, nice! You got a sponsor! Good for you, also, love your videos!!
Haha thanks 😁 And appreciate it
This is the best youtuber ever
Damn that's some high praise, appreciate it!
@@JamiesBrickJams np
i love guns and lego, perfect!
Good video
Cheers 😁
petition: Long range sniper build
Ooooh yeah, I like that
I would like to see if you could actually make something to automatically close the tubes or to just block airflow from going through the metal tubes instead of over and over, pulling that lever forward.
Amazing video as always!
Appreciate it! 🙏
Move the small tanks as close as possible to the barrels for maximum force
Awesome Build Jamie!
Thanks a lot!
It's just amazing what you can do with just lego :D
It's a truly fantastic system!

An improvement you can make is some Teflon Tape on the Primary Air Tank (the reused bottle) to seal the threads on the cap better.
Not a bad idea, cheers!
12:00 bro shot in the hole of the piece😮

What about one with a magazine?
It's on the list 😁
3:09 to skip ad😂😂😂
Its time to make a single barrel the most powerful you can 🔥
Sure will 😉
5:17 make the round air tight, it will travel faster
Nice
Do you have a link to those little motors?
Sure: circuitcubes.com/
We needs schematics...
But we can also just see the way you built it.
Anyway, epic video
I reckon it should be pretty straightforward for anyone to replicate from my video here! Though I know there's still loads of room for improvements to it
nice shotgun.
Hello I have a question, how did you get the airtanks?
Hey, these ones are actually 3rd party - I bought on Amazon. It's pretty tough getting hands on the old Lego tanks unfortunately
Hey, I really like your videos. Also, do you know shrapnel? He made a really powerful lego gun with elastic bands. Could you try to make it even more powerful? I will appreciate a lot if you'll do it!
I just recently saw some of his videos - absolutely love them! He's got some truly ridiculous power out of a few of them. I may experiment with powerful rubber in the future, but for now I'll leave those in his capable hands 😜
That plant really had to suffer
The poor dude is a trooper
What weapon do you chose? Needle rifle. And hundreds of needles.
Now do it for a smaller caliber up to 4mm and increase the barrel length by 2 times. I recommend using 4mm nylon balls for this gun.
Good idea, would love to try with small projectiles like bbs!
btw, sometimes air or gasses can mess up the calculation of the cronograph (i heard) and also, what if you make it so its a break action? that you break it (fold it open) and put the bullets in that way (and maybe put a ring on the axles for schell ejection! and also that the bullets stay put while shooting
)
Ah interesting, I hadn't heard of gasses or air affecting the chrono. I love the idea of a break action lever too, cheers for the suggestion!
@@JamiesBrickJams it rlly would be cool, and np
btw keep it up!
Thanks a lot! 😊
Yesyesyesyeys new video to maybe copy for myself
Awesome, hope you do! Good luck 😁
@@JamiesBrickJams thanks
Really nice! What if you took some concepts from other lego guns on yt such as magazines? Maybe you could even divert some air to create artificial recoil. Would be even cooler!
Ooh I love the idea of making a blowback system to provide some artificial recoil.. and maybe even reloading. Great suggestion, cheers!
You should make a sniper rifle that can shoot for yards.
You make awesome stuff 🤩
Thanks a lot appreciate it 😊🙏
New video idea. "Using legos to rob a bank"
Haha 😂
1 hour! and without notifications
Next needs to be putting this on a tank
where you get all of these parts?
These are all parts from various Technic sets over the years
you could try to add automatic reload, except the bullets, either battery powered, or doing it the fancy way with the air storage as a multi-purpose part 😁
That's definitely something I'd like to try in a future upgrade or future gun!
awesome content as always!
Big thanks 🙏😁
I think that a smaller container for the air makes it more compressed
another great video, keep it up jamie
Thanks a lot! 🙏
cant wait for this guy to make a lego atom bomb.
Now make a Lego grenade launcher.
Hmmmm 🤔 I like where you're thinking...
I thought you said grandma launcher 💀💀💀💀💀
i would love to see more stuff shot from the barrels like plastic or metal bb's.
maybe something else?
Great idea, would love to try some bbs
Now you should make an air powered nerf gun
That's totally on my bucket list!
How many PSI are you charging those air tanks to? I would assume that the system is bottlenecked by small diameter tubing having low airflow, so a higher pressure would help without having to modify any parts. Though you could try drilling out the outlets of the tanks to a slightly larger diameter.

Next: a sub-sonic birdshot Lego shotgun
Make a long range sniper looking gun with two bottles as tanks and make a electric air pump for it that sit at the gun
Lego beast titan
It was a beast!
next step, make it pump action, where you don't have to manually reset the whole thing
Great idea!
Triple Barrel 12 Gauge Air Pump Action Shotgun.
nice vid!
Thanks! 😊
U GOT A SPONSORR :DDDDD good job! nice seeing you grow :D
Aw thanks 😁🙏 Appreciate your kind words
Recommend building a trebuchet, catapult, mangonel etc
I've actually made a few in the past. A powerful whipper trebuchet is on the bucket list! Great suggestion though, there's a lot of potential in siege engines 😁
crosbow when? tension is super powerful
i think longer barrels and slightly longer bursts of air will go a long way
Imagine going to airsoft with this
You should add this to a lego tank
nice!
Thanks!
omagawd a lego blunderbuss
Pepsi, max!? you're from Europe! or whatever.
-American
Sure am!
i get it now, there is pressurw in the bottle?
Yup, the bottle is pressurised to around 45 psi!
Next him make a lego nuke using a firework
Next air powered grenade
Haha not a bad idea 😂
you need a magazine on v4 with a working Lego optic
what if you made a lego version of the Instant Legolas from the slingshot channel its got lego in the name it must be doable hehe
Haha that's a fantastic idea 😂 Also love the slingshot channel!
1:57 bro that scared me 😭😭💀☠️
😅
Great 💖💖
Thanks! 😊
Can you make an Lego Compressor?
It's possible - I made one for my previous air-powered shooter. Though pumping up this bottle using that compressor would take absolutely forever 😅
You forgot to stabilise your "darts"
Oi, you got a loicens fer dat build?
Can you make a gun with aut any hose or lego air tank?🤨
Certainly possible with rubber or fast spinning motors 👌
Dad: we got airsoft at home
The airsoft:
Polastirean?
metal bb's!
Ooh good idea!
@@JamiesBrickJams not very legal though?
@@Skibidigokyllyourself who knows 🤷♂️😅
Cool
you should shoot water bottle full of water outside
Ooh a water pistol powered by high pressure could be an interesting experiment...
fby is going to get you in public
Please make a magazine system amd fukl auyo
You should m,ake it Semi Automatic or even FullAuto
Semi auto is definitely something I'm interested in ...
I wonder when he will pass the legal limit
👀
@@JamiesBrickJamswhat did you do
@@JamiesBrickJamsWHAT DID YOU DO
this guy's worryingly good at making guns...
Haha 😅 cheers?
try a magazine fed air gun!
Sure will, that's on my list!
triple barrel shotgun
Use a lot of pebbles as ammo
Where do you buy this type of legos at? Also what are they called are they actually Lego brand?
Hey, this type is called Lego Technic. It's their variant of Lego aimed at making functional things!
