Ok so i have been wanting to build a LAW for my team for sometime and think i found the one i want to build, it is cheap/compact and looks easy to assemble and operate.
Now here is the link > Build Your own LAW Rocket Launcher

Now i have a CCI 12gram charger that i would use and all the other stuff just buy...
Please give some imput on if you know a cheaper way, and if you have made one maybe tell me how it has worked for you.
I am confident in my ability to make it just curious as to what you think

Nothing wrong with that design. I've done several 12 gram ball valve launchers. Cost about $30 bucks if you already have the 12 gram changer.

They work. They are cheap. The only negative thing is the time it takes to reload a nerf and 12 gram. Plus you have to carry 12 grams on you. One thing to note, take the ball valve after you get it built and work it back and forth to loosen it up a bit. They generally are pretty stiff but the more you work it the easier it gets to flip it open. I'd work the valve a bit before the games too.

Yes, the ball valve is a pain at first but loosens after a while. Good choice with cci 12g adapter, much faster than the others. In fact I bought a rap4 one at first till I learned of the CCI ones.

Can't think of a cheaper way really, 30-50 bucks for is bout the best you can do.

They're pretty fun with shot rounds for outlaw ball. Even if you dont hit anyone or the balls bounce its still a good scare tactic.
And ya gotta love that foom sound. Mine actually has quite a bit of kick if there's a good seal in the barrel.

I would suggest making a piece that goes between the barrel and air manifold, that way theres less stress on attachment hole. Spose you could also drill the hole then glue a threaded coupler in there. Actually that would probably be the thing do.

O, and buy a bunch of 12 grams in bulk off the net, cuz you'll definitely waste a bunch just messin around shootin stuff out it. I shot a potato, went 100yds easily. So yeah, enjoy.
...and try not to break anything.

I've built a few of these, including one that I made into a mortar.

My only advice is to not drill into the side of the 2" pipe. It ruins the structural integrity of the barrel and is hard to seal. Instead glue on a 2" coupler and then a reducer bushing from 2" to 3/4" and then use 2 90* street elbows.

This is how one of mine turned out. I also added a 2" cap as a barrel cover.



Have fun building it, I know I did, and be SAFE!!!
