This is a new concept that I thought up and wanted to see, but I don't presently have the time to make it. The basic concept is that there is split PVC pipe that holds the ammo, connected to a a longer pipe that holds the barrel. This split pipe makes the stock of the rifle. There is an air input at the bottom of the butt of the rifle which disturbs the ammo from the vertical half and shoots it into the curved half. The gun does the usual cloud thing and spits the ammo out the barrel. This design makes the gun more compact than most rifles, which is important to me. Some of the parts in the diagram are not to scale. If anyone wants to make this gun, please do. I would love to see a working model of my design.

It isn't a bad idea, but if you took the vertical piece from the stock off, I think it will be a lot more efficient, unless that part is somehow blocked off from the bbs, because with that vertical piece being there, the air will push the bbs straight up to the top of the vertical piece, and then the air will just go straight out the barrel without taking any bbs with it.
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.

Hmmm...i wouldn't say its a great idea to have a stock.

Clouds are supposed to be pistols yeah?

And when clouds have blank shots and need a tilt-End of barrel to sky-, it's "refueled".

How would you do it with a stock? -You could, but it would take more work =/-

I guess my MSPaint job was clear enough. The nozzle should point up the curved piece(pushing the BB's towards the barrel), not straight up the vertical piece. With better scaling, I think the design would make more sense.

Yes, some clouds have that too, but you still need a tilt every once in a while =/.
