Yo Brain. Say, cant you fix a supressor on to the barrel ? A full auto with supressor should be and look nice :)

Great gun man, congrats ....

Aww, why would he do that? a full auto marble machine gun makes too cool of a noise to just suppress.

Well...about 50 I'd say.It's too noisy to shoot in my backyard, or even in my garage...
As I have stated earlier, I want to build a silencer for it.(Read people!!)
It sounds really cool without it, but my neighbours don't agree....

oh. so only 50 marbles? we've got two large fire extinguishers in my garage, and I have been thinking of building it into a marble machine gun, kind of like this, but different. or a larger diameter projectile machine gun. Any Idea on what I could use? I was thinking ball bearings. but, If nothing is suitable, then I will use marbles.

If you are going for damage, you could use golf balls. But if I was you, I would stick to the marbels. They are much cheaper then golf balls.

It's really simple.

I used compression fittings.
From the barrel, an elbow goes down.Via a pipe it's connected to a T.
One way goes up, towards the barrel, one way goes to the mag, one ( smaller) way comes from the bottom feeding in the air.

I tought of something like that. But while I was thinking about it, i tought that the ammo (marbels) role past the T, since nothing stands in their way. So many could get shot away with the first shot

Secondly, the marbels, they go trough the elbow easily ?

What do you mean by "compression fittings" ? (kan je dat even in het Nederland uitleggen ?)
