[Solved... It's not] New Type of BBMG?

I don't know if this idea has been used before (please tell me if that is so), but I think I came up with a possibly-working BBMG design. It uses Bernoulli's principle as the "cloud" type do, but works more like an airbrush (the type that siphons from a cup below or to the side of it). I don't know if it would work, or if the effect would be strong enough with only 100 PSI, or whatever people use in these things. Just a thought (I think vortex blocks will still be better).

You mean something like the
LARC M-19?
TakerLabs on spudtech was a fan of this sort of design.

Oops... Forgot to attach the diagram I made
. It is attached now. So anyways, that is exactly what I meant... Nevermind then, I guess it's not new.

Unless you're using really light BBs, and very high flow, I don't think your design would work at all. An interesting variation is the
"vogt pattern" inline magazine.

Thanks... I'm not really into BBMGs anyway. I made a cloud and a vortex and then got bored of them. Thanks!

Remember that something light a paint sprayer has a separate air inlet to the reservoir. Without it you'll only suck up a couple BBs before the pressure in the BB storage chamber drops enough to stop air flow out of the chamber.
