I finally thought of a way to retain the bbs from escaping until thhe mag is inserted
please tell me any confusing, better idea or just sleep on it

That actually looks like it could work! You will have to find a way to funnel the bbs nto the holes in the side though.

Looks excellent to me. Good design, great illustration. Should work.

Another idea that occurred to me would be to use a flap of rubber with an X pattern cut in it sealing off the top of the magazine, and a small piece of pipe inside the gun that would stick down into the X in the rubber flap when the clip is inserted, opening it for the BB's to pass through into the gun. This would be slightly more ghetto than your idea, but would probably accomplish the goal.

Again, nice design. What did you do those drawings in? Visio maybe?

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

hmm I don't know if that will keep bbs from escapingunder the force or the spring pushing bbs out, but that does give me another idea for an inline mag
edit: tada

^ that would be hard for the flap to be pushed down because of the bb's in the way.-?


EDIT: maybe pete Zaria's idea would work better?

That's a great idea, that would enable you to make more realistic looking guns, I think you should try it.

but how will the rubber not bend in the other direction and have bbs spill out
