would it work if you had a big chamber for a cloud and pressurized both the chamber and bb's and just carried it around and opened a ball valve on the barrel when you wanted to fire? I know it would only last a few seconds, but would it work at all is my question.

I don't see why not. There will probably still be some BBs left inside of it after it fires though.

Depends. If all the bb's are sitting on the bottom of the chamber and the hole was at the top, you probably wont get any.

If you're referring to the barrel, then no.

who do I look like, the mythbusters?! :roll:

The barrel is straightened out copper brakeline that's a bit less than polished.

that would work as long as there's enough space around the bbs for the compressed air. just keep in mind that it you have a 100 cubic inch chamber of air and bbs, and it has 60 cubic inches of bbs in it, then there's only 40 left for air pressure. as long as the thing isn't full of bbs you should be fine, just dont forget to leave room for pressure.

what if you spring loaded the ball valve so that it always closed itself, and had some sort of trigger, event the valve lever itself, that opened it? then you could probably give a few bursts before you ran out of pressure.
