Hey guys next weekend I plan on making a cloud. And i have a few questions.

1. Can I use ABS for a cloud shooting 6mm bbs (becuase my home depot, and lowes don't sell more then 2" pvc)

2. Can I get 6mm copper tubing at places like home depot? or do I have to tear barrels out of airsoft guns?

3. How do I mount the barrel to the chamber?

Thanks much guys, Help is appericiated!

As long as your initial pressure doesn't exceed 100 psi, you should be fine
2. Can I get 6mm copper tubing at places like home depot? or do I have to tear barrels out of airsoft guns?
Try you local model/hobby shop
3. How do I mount the barrel to the chamber?
Drill a suitable sized hole in the endcap and epoxy it in place.

You probably don't need anything larger than 2'' pipe anyways, and you can get the barrel where JSR said, or you could try 5/16, or 9/32 brakeline from an auto parts store (Pepboys, Napa, etc.)
