My newest thrown-together gun

[noname]

My newest airsoft strafer, thrown together for the competition. It utilizes a clear 1" SDR 21 chamber, a spring powered plunger, ghetto cut (but very clean) threads in the back, a 2 foot 9/32" brakeline barrel, a fake silencer that looks really kickass, a modified blowgun in a PVC handle, some clear epoxy, a clear vortex block with no shrouds and the front filed away for better feed, and some other stuff. It's about as strong as the Pocket Strafer but has a higher ROF and lasts longer (compared to the 1 second of firing out of the Pocket Strafer ).

That is cool! It looks ghettoish but well made. How did you manage to get the brakeline that straight (i think it comes in rolls / not straight?)

Any vids please?

[noname]

I've seen it sold in rolls and straight; I got the straight kind.

Looks very nice! I really need to build a BBMG sometime soon (and if I do, it will be an inline vortex block).

This is a very clean gun; did you use a bottle cap for the plunger?

Those are pretty clean threads; for my upcoming project though, I am going to need to get a 2" tap

[noname]

Yep, it's a soda bottle cap with expanding rubber to make it seal.
I have yet to buy a tap of any size! They're too expensive, I just ghetto tap all mine, though with this one I couldn't. A steel nipple was the same size though, so I heated the plastic to make it soft screwed the nipple in, heated, screwed in, etc., until I had enough threads.

Any idea where i could but the brake line? Either in the UK or some other country that will ship to the UK? Is it expensive?

[noname]

I can get a 3 foot brakeline for about $2.50 US, I have no idea where you'd get it in the UK.

Taps are kinda expensive, but they are worth it. I spent like $8 on my 1/4NPT, but it gets used enough that it's worth it.
Could you glue a female fitting to the pipe? That couldn't be more than $0.75 for that size fitting.

Hehe, already a member of uksgc... Have been for a while

i love the clear vortex block nice touch.is 9/32 better than 5/16? its 1/32" smaller so wouldnt it be too tight?

[spudthug]

yea the claer chamber+ vortex are awesome.. now u can tell how much ammo u have left!! this is ur next vortex,

1. clear chamber
2. hooked up to a c02 bottle for power
3. electronically fed hopper to feed bbs in when it gets low
4. as big as my hand..

what is that front handle from?

[XxtriviumxX]

thats a cool gun. the barrel looks a bit ghetto.........i like the silencer

[noname]

Pyrogeek, in my opinion, they're not, because you can do the same thing with a steel nipple of any size. No, I could not glue a female fitting on, because that would ruin it aesthetically and this pipe isn't even PVC, it's just a little bigger than 1" SDR 21.
LukeMC, 9/32" brakeline is the best you can get. From 50 feet with a 5/16" brakeline barrel, the spread with this gun is about a foot and a half. With 9/32," the spread is reduced to 6 inches. It's also a lot more powerful because there's almost no blowby.
ID of 9/32" brakeline: 6.03 mm
OD of BB: 5.93 mm
Spudthug, I could probably do most of the things you said, but no way would it be as small as a hand.
SoCalSiege, this gun was built from a Burp gun, which is this clear little gun thing that shoots Ping-Pong balls. I guess I had a different use in mind.....
XxtriviumxX, the barrel only looks ghetto because I didn't want to take another 30 minutes making a new vortex block because I drilled the exit hole a little low.

Guys, does a stainless steel tube, with a 6.06 inner dimension, work instead of a brakeline?
