Ive always loved these guns and a few weekends ago O Brother Where Art Thou? was on so i decide to start on a completely homemade airsoft vortex Chicago style Thompson sub machine gun

specs:
1 inch chamber running along the total length of the square tubing
steel vortex block
brass 6mm barrel

the grips and but stock is made of oak a piece of brake line was bent up to travel from the blowgun (routed into the grip) to the vortex block

the whole thing took around a week to make and being my first vortex gun it turned out pretty well

ill try to get a vid up soon of me killing some cans

Ok, this is going to get people's attention - things like this always do, just because they look awesome.

Good job.

This definitely got my attention.

Good job on the amazing attention to detail.

And yes, that movie is awesome...

"Oh George... not the livestock."

Great job. What was the receiver and drum made of?
Does it have a spring to push the bbs? Looks like the real thing.

the drum is mad out of 2 plywood circles with a heavy coat of primer and the receiver is the square tubing

THAT IS SO #UCKEN COOL !!!!!!!!!!! I would love to make something like that. I envy you. You are a true artist in my eyes. You Sir are a true Artist. If you don't mind me asking.. Are you a art student or a engineering student or something..All I have to say is, you have a bright future ahead of you.. :thumbleft:

that is very cool indeed! i'm looking foreward to the damage pics and hopefully a vid?

Nicely done 'course you could have saved yourself a lot of work by buying a cheap airsoft tommygun and sticking the BBMG inside, but props for making it from scratch anjd achieving such a pleasing aesthetic effect - now let's see it in action

yes im a graphite artist but i do a little sculpting as you can see i look at this gun more so a piece of art

It looks awesome, but your barrel is on a angle with the grip which looks a little weird.

Thats what I thought.. You are a genius.. keep up the good work and you will be famous some day.

Sorry to post again, but I don't believe my first post did this gun justice...

OH SHI-

Now that that is aside, I'd like to congratulate you on your excellent artwork. I've always had design floating through my head for a 'Denali' marble rifle, which would probably have wound up taking as much work to build as this cannon, and I was always too lazy to build it. I can't wait to see what you do next, because you obviously aren't lazy.

Beautiful work Card! That's almost too realistic looking. Might not hurt to have a removeable red tip you can slide on that if you have it out in public.

looks really good, Its nice to see people making their bbmgs look like real guns.. I went on the BBMG/Strafer Showcase section and I seen this right above my P90 BBMG and I have to say the showcase section is really getting better.

Ooh, rebellious forums, we'll have to put a stop to that.

Adv. Defiantly - in a rebellious manner.
