Here it is, but it's not completely done. I never painted it black, instead, it's red and green. The paintjob is currently kind of sloppy because I'm only about half done painting it.

Barrel: 9/32" aluminum brakeline sleeved into 5/16" aluminum
Magazine: 9" long 1" SDR 21, it can hold about 600 airsoft; 900 .177
Valve: Modified blowgun

It has a hop up for metal BBs, the sight on the end of the barrel is a magnet. It kind of works but not a whole lot. Who cares?
It shreds cans from 50 feet away at as low as 70 psi, which means I can shoot non stop for about a minute and a half if it held enough ammo. The ROF is about 75-100 rps depending on the pressure, due to the 20" barrel and the improved vortex block.
It's an improved vortex block because at first it was jammed and wouldn't shoot, so I tore the gun apart, took out the block, ripped of the shrouds, and voila, haven't had a jam since. It also only has half the vortex hole, this keeps BBs from circling around more than once and makes it more compact.
Sorry I can't post any pics, but I can link to some at the Spudshot Forum:

Em yes you can post the pics here, you just want people to head over to that forum.

I suggest you knock it off, along with the forum in your signature. Your sig says "NO ROOM FOR SPAM", but what do you think your doing? Spamming.

Couldn’t open the pics…
Question:
Why are they called BBMGs OR marble MGs? MG stands for Machine Gun, right?
Well there’s nothing “machine” about the working of the gun (no moving parts) so why are they called machine guns?
Call me "Judge", it's easier to type.

Judgment arms.....its the same thing with smoothbore and rifle, no one on the site really cares that much, we call them those names as they 'resemble' a rifle or a mchine gun by the rapid fire or the set-up of the gun and stock. Does it really matter? :roll:

No actually, this one doesn’t bother me as I can’t think of a better name for ‘em… other then “high powered BB dispensers”…

PCGUY, my brother downloaded some weird camera thing onto my comp, now I don't have the option of opening them with Paint or Microsoft Picture Editor, so I can't resize them. Otherwise, I would have been happy to upload them to this forum. Same with Spudtech. When I take the pictures they come out as about 700 kb, so I need to resize them. If you want me to take NO ROOM FOR SPAM out of my signature I will, no problem.

As for the paintjob, I don't care. I wanted something completely different; now I have it.

you should get a photobucket accout, it atomatically resizes pics for you and then you can post them directly on your topic/reply without having to upload them to the site.

judgement_arms, vortex bbmg's have a moving part, the vortex block.

Oh and I suppose the bb's are moving too........ lol
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

The vortex block doesn't move at all, if it did, you'd have a serious problem.

Maybe, just maybe we say rifle, or bbmg because everybody else on these forums has accepted those names.Nobody has a problem with it.
We all know what we mean by it.

Get over it.
