Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 1:26 pm
I got a 3" DWV tee laying around I was going to make a BBMG useing a vorext block. Since it is a 3" tee should I make the hole in it 1" in stead of 3/4"? The other holes will be the same. Thx

Is the vortex itself 3" in diameter or is the housing for it?

The vortex block is in side on a 3" plug.

Then it should be the same as a 2" vortex, just in a bigger space. Make it into a double vortex and split the airstream going in into 2 blowguns. 3" is enough space.

Just get a 1/2" PVC one. They're like 3 bucks compared to 8 for a 1/4" ball valve.

It won't work. Strafers work on the concept of some pressure in the chamber, a 3inch chamber is WAY too huge. WIth the air that leaves the barrel, your chamber will have hardly enough pressure to get any kind of power behind the BBs.

Not sure if this would work with a vortex BBMG....
