This is my newest bbmg its a cloud, cause I don't care about air usage i have a giant air compressor now. The barrel is clear vinyl 5/16 and a yard long.
Chamber is 1.5 inch pvc. I blocked the stock off with some sheet pvc I made. Fires 40-50rps, 290-400or more fps, I use 12g. bb's
Hope you guys really like it :D

looks pretty good to me.

i have no experience with clouds, so ill be a noob for once and ask-

does it fire the whole mag/chamber consistently or does it only shoot so many before you have to reload?
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"

ouch 5/16 for a barrel... thats 7.9mm almost 2mm off of the size of the BB....

I would recommend a better barrel... even a 8" standard airsoft barrel would preform better than a yard of 5/16...

This is a beautiful cloud. Nice job. I would like to see more pics of it, though.

Now, step up and put a vortex in it.
