  4. Female cap: In this step to make a paintball gun, take the PVC pipe and cut it to a length of five inches. Now attach a female cap to an end of the pipe.
  5. Finish up: In this last step to make a paintball gun fix the female cap end of the pipe to the gas valve and seal the connection with a pipe sealer to avoid air leaks. Make sure that when you fill your gun with air, it should not exceed 40 pounds.
