Ok I chose that name for the acronym: ICBM :lol:

Anyway, this is my first bbmg ever. I built it only out of stuff I already had ('cept the brake line for the barrel) which is why It looks so messy. Its super compact, and super innacurate, but it works pretty darn well. There will almost for sure be an ICBM2 that is field useable.

Specs:
Type: Coax bullpup full block inline vortex
Barrel: 16" long 1/4" brake line
Air source: 100 psi air compressor
Rat of Fire: 80ish RPS( I really have no idea)

Things ICBM2 will hopefully have: smaller diameter, spring and plunger to push bbs, lexan vortex block, better trigger/valve system, portable air system, and a halfway decent paint job.

Looks pretty good, any chance of a video, pretty good for a first attempt, are you planning on using HPA to portabalize it
That is all.

What an awesome first!!! I finished my first yesterday and based on what I've seen here on spudfiles this one stacks up pretty well,although I might recommend some paint remove that hose clamp glue or bolt the stock on instead.

I would definitely get HPA/Co2 for your next one. It is so fun to use it against friends :twisted:

If you're poor like me you could use propane. It's cheap and in my tests proved to work well. Anything with a name like ICBM is definatelly worth putting in some extra effort for.

@Marffy: ya thats rounds per second, sorry.

I've decided that instead of improving ICBM1, am just gonna work on making ICBM2 as awesome as possible. consider this "proof of concept" :wink:

Well I certainly hope you stick with this overall shape for ICBM2. I love the bullpup design. It looks very compact and comfortable to fire.

For ICBM2 you might consider making a vortex chamber from whatever pipe you decide to use, and then set that inside a square structural tube. Give it a nice barrel shroud and you'll make people forget that its a "toy."

The square tube would allow easy adhesion of the stock piece as well as of the main valve. Just my three cents...
