my first airsoft gun. i've worked on it for a couple months on and off collecting parts here and there and finally got it 99 % done. it has a 2" chamber that screws inside the 3" receiver and is hidden. the gun can be stripped down. in the vid im using 12 g. glow in the dark tracer bb's but want to try 20 g. when i have time i'm going to figure out the velocity.

34 inch barrel
50-60 rps
162 ft range with 12g bb's at 90psi

Beautiful! It looks like a .50cal MG! Is the tripod made of metal or pvc?

Backyard foundry, that sounds interesting. I also like the design of the handle you have at the back. Nice gun

I really like the extras on it, they really "make" the gun.
Well done spuddin!
I love the metal vortex block, what did you melt it down with?

beautifully finished, you achieved the M2 feel very well :) well done.

Where did you hide the valve though?

I dont think there is a valve on the gun, I think its just the one at the air source :wink:

Looks great! Wish I could build something like that, but my parents are kind of strict about no airsoft guns, and that would be hard to hide. :?

No airsoft guns? How can you make so many without them noticing?
