Paintball to .22 pellet conversion.

if you dig around on utube you will find all sorts paintball to pellet conversions,paintball valve should put out plenty power for what you doing,and can be easily modified if needed,not that hard to make a new valve either,plenty to keep you out the pub for a while eh!lol.

that little project will keep you busy mate,good bit fun,
