ok guys here is my first bbmg...i hope it works i havent tried yet and im gonna paint it...any paint suggestions are openly appreciated..my barrel i from a grease gun and it looks pimp and works really good for bbs...more pics when i paint it...damage up soon to....


NOTE: lukemc helped me with this <----credit so everyone knows

Looks pretty good for a first, though I'm still biased towards vortexes...oh well.

I like it!!! I love clouds cause of ease of manufacture and use.

haha i plan on making a vortex they seem better looks wise but alot of people told me i should build a cloud first...i almost bought a vortex block from u...ill make sure i buy on from u when i make a vortex gun though



EDIT: ill still buy one from u even if u think im a post whore....lol


EDIT2: btw guys check out my AMG gun

An easy way to make a vortex gun would just be to secure a vortex block inside that cloud chamber, you wouldn't spend any extra money making the vortex gun and you'd still have the regular cloud if you made the block detachable.

when i make a vortex i am gonna make sure i know what i am doing....i am gonna research the wiki and some other sites and this...plus i jsut spent a shat load of money on this and my amg

Man what an amazing gun that is just spectacular!! who ever gave you those plans must have been a genius. lol

haha genius...[sarcastic] naw i got the plans from some idiot who bought them off of ebay for like 15 cents[sarcastic] anyway thanks luke

oh wow does this work awesome!!! i jsut tested it but im not gonna test it anymore until it full dires...it shoots those frigging bbs hard...it still has a bit of grease in the barrel though....my bbs got covered in grease so im gonna try to clean it some more...

are you shooting plastic or steel bbs. cause i made one that looked exactily like that and it did not work i was shooting steel bbs.

what is your barrel made of looks like it is coupled in the middle. if it is it could be a lot smoother shooting if you used a one piece barrel

nice cloud it i needs a paint job though so you not done yet mua ha ha

well make a vortex since clouds are very easy just challenge yourself man i made you blow into and it works.

Ok, because I dont want to start a new topic to ask a question about bbmgs, I guess I'll ask here:
Is there really a way to determine the best barrel length for a bbmg? obviously something like 1.5:1 doesnt apply to something with a compressor tank hooked up to it. I did use the search link and wiki but couldnt find anything relevant.
Would a barrel of say 3 feet be acceptable without robbing any power?

also nice gun spudthug. I agree give it a snazzy paint job.

i think for a bbmg a C:B ratio dosent realy apply basily the longer the barrel the better (correct me if im wrong)

And the smaller the chamber....but then you have fewer BB's so there must be some point where you can get a decent ROF from a nice long barrel with enough BB"s in the chamber yet the chamber is small enough to have good performance.
