Portable BBMG, a little something different.

Hi, I made this gun from an old basic ball valve air gun that utilized a hand pump, elimintaing the need for external parts. It used a 1/2" pvc coupler to attach the barrel, allowing easy barrel swithing, so I used a couple inches of 1/2" pvc and an old airsoft pistol barrel to make a small chamber that holds around 200 BBs and a barrel. I can now add this to the air gun to make a portable cloud gun. The way you shoot is just barely opening the ball valve, creating a small air flow.
What resulted was a totally portable BBMG. In 4-5 pumps it lays down a half second burst, but at a great ROF. Half a second doesn't seem like much, but it is really easy to get another burst ready that it is more than made up for. The range is around 100 feet with an angle to the shot. I am going to add a makeshift hop-up on the end of the barrel, where there is a notch from the original hop-up on the pistol. I am going to put a bit of e-tape on the notch to impart some backspin. Here's the gun.
