this is my best cloud yet, i have made 6 but only posted one, they were crap, but this one is best, i load a few hundred bbs in there, and i have a tiny plunger, about an inch long, it still lets the bbs go in a cloud, but you can shoot it from any angle, it is very loose, but works, damage pics up soon, ther is a vid and pic the vid explains about it, not it shooting, so without further adu, here it is, my little freind.

That looks pretty cool :D What did you use for the plunger spring, was it just a really weak spring?

Nice gun, but you doknow that a plunger does absolutely nothing for a cloud right?

Actually, a plunger would help a lot in a cloud, because it decreases the amount of space that the bbs have to move in, so it increases the chance that they will move out the barrel.

plungers are used to push the bbs. You might as well just make the camber smaller

But then it doesn't hold as many bbs.

Nice gun. Just a few "technical" things:

Thanks for including a video in the first place, but... Pull the camera WAY back, and get a get a tripod, or at least steady the camera. I felt like the camera was inside a dog toy.

What kind of funky air hookup fitting do you have on the gun?
Edit: Just watched the video, and holy crap, I totally agree with you Pimpmann.
