Tequila PCP Airgun
- Thread starter Xolotl
- Start date
Tsk for yours words, the name is because I am Mexican and the most popular thing in Mexico is the tequila. Using this name is very hard someone forgot it.
Before to ask for buyers, I want to show in a video the performance of the tequila. right now I am waiting for finish two pieces to continue with the performance test. I hope finish it this week end. So I will asking for buyers the next week.

Awesome! I would like to have one 
Also I think it would be better to have the cocking handle on the left side for compact pistol.

Very good observation, the handle in the left side is completely ergonomic option.

This is a good point. The majority of pistol shooter's are right handed. Putting the cocking lever on the left side would allow them benefit from not having to change grip every time they cock the gun and engage the target.
The skeletoniized grip is top shelf work, very innovative applying it to this pistol! Did you get the air leak worked out?

Yes I fixed it. I was using a new system to seal the input high pressure air. And change it for a easy solution.

This video shows a pistol with the cocking lever in the right side and the shooter cocked it very easy.

Yes, I bought the fill probe in eBay, but it has a very bad quality the hole not was aligned with the center line of the body piece, and suddenly it broken, today I finished a new one but I did it from stainless steel, tomorrow I will teste it, I hope have some numbers and video for the next week.

Yes, finally I shootings a few pellets, but the speed was slow, I was getting 15 ft lbf. So the last week I redesign the compleat hammer system. I add more weight to the hammer, changed the spring. Today I received the parts, so I hope shoot it the next Monday. As soon as I get the 30 ft lbf I share the info with yours.

How did this go? I find the best way to get more power and speed is through porting for smooth air flow (along with hammer weight and springs). I grind down and polish to smooth the air transition around corners and ensure that the port sizes all match closely.

I can get 5 shoots of 37 ft lbs, using the following specs.
1800 psi
12 cc of plenum
Diameter discharge valve port 0.187 “
11 inches barrel
18.2 grains
Using this values I calculate that the tequila gun can produce the same power using less air pressure, Then I modify the following
Diameter discharge valve port 0.223.
30 cc of plenum
1300 psi.
Unfortunately the valve port was damage and I can finished the test.
The attached picture shows the the velocity of 5 pellets.

Hello everybody,
Although now I have the design on hold until I have capital to invest in it. I have been working on the improvement opportunities that I found in the first prototype. Following I will show the changes I want to make to the original design.
1.- 30 cc of plenum
2.- Holes on thread unions to check leaks
3.- Identify pellet chambers using Mayas numbers.
4.- Add options in the gun shape.
5.- Presicion open sight
6.- Barrel band
7.- Improve the performance in trigger and cocking system.
8.- Improve the design of the folding stock.
9.- Improve apearence and performance in the folding suppressor.
Any question please let me know.

But, I love the Airguns and create new things. Today I am asking for your help to continue with it. I want to launch a Found me campaign to get the total of $3K, it is the total that I need to finish a new prototype that include everything that I told you yesterday.
To be attractive the contribution I can award the person that contributed to get this goal as following.
If you want to help me to finished this project, please lead me know through my mail: or my Facebook site , leaving a message. So if the number of persons interested on help me is big, I will launched the campaign on the web site: gofundme.com
Regards

- I will give back the total of his contribution plus a 25% when he buy a new tequila gun.
- If the person does not want to buy a Tequila gun, I give back the total of his contribution once the first sale of 50 tequila guns has been made.

This project reminds me of another very successful forum, at getting community projects accomplished at a fair price. (budgetlightforums)
I like the way this have developed. I'd like to see this in a large cal with multishot.

The goal for this year is developed the following calibers 0.177, 0.22 and 0.25.
The next year I hope developed a .30 using 18 inches barrel and 60 cc of plenum with a carbon fiber deposit.
