"Dimply" - a machined pneumatic pen gun

I would say I'm a "self taught" machinist, but I definitely got some help along the way.
In co-operation with another self taught machinist, a pneumatic "pen gun" style airgun was designed and built, with each step being documented in detail as my "apprenticeship". I would like to share it here because in a very short time I went to from having absolutely no idea to being reasonably competent and I am confident it will help others as it helped me.
The project itself is a single shot 1/8" caliber pen gun that dumps its chamber through an exhaust valve, not a very practical device but definitely a conversation piece.

VERY Nice and looks Pro. !
I built a pneumatic pen gun
a couple years back
using a "Hammer Valve"
I never tried over about 120 PSI in it
It wasn't machined but hand fitted and didn't
like to take a charge and would go off to easy
so I used some of the parts for other things.

Well done indeed, im dreaming of those tools. Unfortunately in nj this device is so illegal in so many ways. Speaking of which i think you should add a moderator
