This is my version of the Strafer Sub-machine gun. The 2in T in the back and the entire 1in pipe on the top hold the BB's. The actual barrel is 3ft. long and sits inside the lower 1in. pipe. It's capable of shooting thousands of BB's per minute. The power source is an air compressor which connects to the bottom of the rear grip, just below the trigger.

These are pictures of the vortex cup. It sits at the bottom of the 2in T and is what makes fully automatic shooting possible. BB's enter through the 3/4in whole towards the top and air from the bottom spins the BB's in the vortex cup and throws themm out the front and down the barrel.

Thats pretty cool- how far does it shoot?

A vortex strafer is accurate to about ~50 feet, but it can shoot more than 100 if you have a good high pressure, high volume air source.

But I wouldn't reccomend a vortex strafer for a few reasons.
1. They're very complex. You need to make a vortex block and align it and everything.
2. They are somewhat unreliable (i.e. jamming)
3. The vortex block unless made out of something VERY durable, will ear down over time.

Cloud strafers are a better choice.

hehe, u said cloud, but ur giving downs to vortex

there, fixed it happy now

yes, very happy indeed, i hope u had fun fixing that with ur all powerfull modness

but how do u make a "cloud strafer

a cloud strafer is basically a small closed chamber with bb's, and a barrel at the top of it, air is blown in thru a blowgun, which has had the inlet reduced from 1/8" npt to something smaller than a bb, the air agitates the bb's, and the bb's follow the flow of the air out of the barrel, i have my cloud strafer posted on this site, theres not much more to it then what you see outside

ewww. is that purple primer? use industrial grade clear primer and cement, it looks better

ewww. is this a dead topic? use industrial grade shut up(tm), it's better

And anyway, that's one of the cleanest glueing jobs you'll find.

that would just hurt a little bit

andrew, take the advice of the picture above

Spud does the IPLA have any meets/get togethers?

thats totally off topic
