The Parts

You can get all the parts at almost any harware store or local supply.
The airpiston is from a bike pump and the spring is from an umbrella.
The parts in trigger mecanism i made from a metal pipe. The metal pipe in the trigger is alos from a umbrella.
I used no big power powertols like ( lathe or mill), but i had a grinder but you dont realy need it.

This Is How It Fits to Together.

the trigger mecanism is as simple as it can get, and it worked verywell.
i was supose to use a spring in the trigger mechansim but did not find one so i used a rubber band:)
