Blarg, I hit the wrong button. Psh, we don't need fields around here. I'm a pretty good paintballer, but I've never played at a real field, always just go out to the boonies with friends.

EDIT: And how asccurate is this gun anyway?

The barrel isn't too long; I chopped it because it looked weird, so the accuracy isn't as good as when I first tried the gun. The barrel's about 16," and I get a spread of around a foot and a half from 40 feet away.

Well that's not really too bad at all. I would love to have something like that in an airsoft game, I bet it would hurt like heck to get hit with 50 rounds faster than you can blink, hahahaha.

Hell yeah it would! A can gets shredded like paper, and that's aluminum thicker than your skin.

Oh, maybe you shouldn't use it after all, lol. Of course your skin can give and bounce back. Either way it would suck, haha. How quick is the reload time?

Well, all I have to do is pull out the plug in back and take out the plunger (about 5 seconds) and then pour in the BBs, About 15 seconds in all, probably.
Should I make a mag fed one next?
The next one I do, I think I might try to get really good aesthetics on.

Wow man the sweet i never would have thought that doing that would have given a performance increase but then again i wouldnt have thought alot of things.... you should make 2 of then then you could dule weild

lol

Yea, mag fed would be a good addition I think.

Dual-wielding! Sweetness! 500 rounds in 2 seconds, bwahahaha.

Dude, I have nowhere near that budget for BBs! Like I said before, I was on my hands and knees picking up BBs all over the street yesterday after messing around for a minute or two.

This idea could be incorperated into an exellent hand gun!

Also with this idea you can have the barrel running along top of your hopper to minimize the overall size of the gun, which is more difficult with a standard inline becaise of the spring.

What? I understood the excellent hand gun part, but I have no idea what you meant by the second part.

So, how much are airsoft BB's?

noname · Thu Jul 19, 2007 5:30 pm

$30 for 10,000. I only have about 6,000 left.

So I pick up every single little BB that I find.

WEll, they're cheaper than paintballs anyway, lol. There's an interesting idea, a vortex for paintballs... Or marbles

noname · Thu Jul 19, 2007 5:36 pm

People think of that like every week. A marble vortex might work, but you'd need a HUGE air source and trigger valve, and it's not worth it. If you really want a marble machinegun, just make one like Brian the brain's or markfh11q's.
