I have another question, for anybody who doesn't mind answering. At what pressure should I run my vortex cap? Is this subjective for every build, or is there an accepted standard that works well?

Help with my vortex cap

Hi guys. I'm building a vortex cap gun right now, and I'm hoping you guys can help me with a couple of things. I'm going for a DB design, so I had to use PVC plugs which are flat and domed inside. What distance from the wall do I want the barrel and air holes to be? Also, how many inches from the ce...

A pop off valve would be a better choices for safety. If you feed it 200psi you would be lucky to get 90 in the chamber, so i really doubt it would blow out, but of course if the barrel becomes jammed pressure will rise to what your feeding it quick. Right. That would be more fitted to the task, as...

We'll probably use 150-200 PSI. I'm hoping that it'll be drilled with my dad's drillpress at work, so it should be plenty accurate.

PVC thread retention question

Hey guys. I'm in the process of building a vortex cap BBMG with my friend. I was discussing our build with my dad, and he insists that threads drilled and tapped into the sides of the cap will not stay as soon as it's pressurized. Is there any pressure range at which 1/8NPT holes tapped in the sides...

An idea: will it work?+Official delurking post

Hi all. With the onset of a new idea that I just couldn't leave alone, I decided to come here to see if it would work, opinions, and/or past work like it. On to the idea itself now. Undoubtedly, everyone is familiar with BBMGs here. So my plan is to have a vortex gun, but instead of a magazine/hoppe...
