First attempt at BBMG. New video.

Well I thought I'd take a crack at a BBMG. Pretty simple, a blow gun, 40" of 1/4" 300 psi hose and a 36" 1/4 brake line. I hid most of the magazine( 1/4' hose ) inside a standard 4" end cap and a threaded 4" end cap pressed together. The mag holds 250 rds and feeds great, although I will probably make a larger mag. 250 rds lasts about 1 sec. I shrouded the barrel with 1" PVC for strength.
This is just a prototype and is powered straight off my compressor right now. I have a 3" x 24" sch 40 chamber for it, but haven't glued it together yet because I wanted to see how much air this thing needed. I have 6 small HPA tanks I'd like to use at some point. They are the ones that are about a foot tall.
It's a little on the getto side but it only took about 2 hours to build and it worked the first try.
Sorry no vids yet. I haven't been able to upload to YouTube for some reason.
Edit... it shoots .177 bb's not air soft.
I added a short video. 250 rds doesn't last very long. [youtube][/youtube] I know... Need to cut the grass. It was the first time the sun had come out in months, give my a break.
