I think that you could create a mag loaded with mini cartriges holding about 100 bbs or more in a 7 cartrige mag. i am also thinking that you could also create like an m16 with a removable mag that can hold 500 or more bbs, any one ever had this idea before?
I just want to put my rediculus idea that i got while listening to music(metal/rap!! hollywood undead) also anone else think of more great ideas i would like to hear 'em. I always try to invent new plans to try to keep improving on my usefulness on spudfiles for like helping fix some plans

Concepts are easy, implementing them is tougher. You should make some simple launchers first to get more experience with both the theory of function and building materials and techniques before dreaming up radical ideas that will never be built ;)

Jrwd, i meant having chartiges filled with bbs so that when in place it pops the sealed ends and compleates a air line that uses the bb like a inline bbmg.

What JSR said. It's a good design goal, but build a few basic launchers first. It'll help you come up with a starting point, and you don't want to get overwhelmed and then burnt out.

You're talking about a detachable magazine for BBs then, not necessarily a shotshell?

For both the ammo and propellant...

It would need to be 2 chambered cartridge with a vortex block in the ammo chamber and a regulator in the pressure chamber, just off the top of my head. :wink: It could be done.

Short length of PVC pipe
Air inlet on the bottom of pipe (a cloud type gun, no vortex)
Outlet high on one end of pipe
Outlets covered with aluminum foil (end for barrel has a glued PVC cap with a hole that matches the OD of the barrel)
Mounting cartridge in the gun pokes the barrel through one Al covered hole and the air supply line through the other Al covered hole.

Edit: minor leaks at the seals wouldn't be an issue since BBMGs waste so much air anyway.
