Finally Finished bbmg

[fpshutch74]

BBMG


This is it---Took a few months to perfect. The gun frame is made of 3/4 inch pvc pipe, 3/4 inch fittings, 1 inch fittings, and some 2 inch pvc fittings along with some brass fittings. To be honest, very little pvc cement was used, the barrel is 1/4 inch brakeline, the end that enters the vortex block(made of bondo) is flared and has a bolt... perfect for taping it into the pvc and bando. There is a metal skirt on the block to prevent jaming and I used silicon sealant to make an air tight seal on the block..yet its still accessable


the trigger set up-- its a blowgun

- inside the hopper (2 inch t)

this is my air source...20 oz Co2 with a female palmer reg with a remote and quick disconnect - I put the tank on my back in a paintball pod pack to keep it vertical... the reg is great but still cant take liquid co2... i had a variety of whacky and scary instances messing withe reg... and im happy to have all my fingers


this is the hose connected at the disconnect


this is the stock/ endcap set up --- i wrap it in teflon tape to seal the chamber

over all it was fun to build, its kicks ass and can really be a bitch when its aimed at you, the best part is the adjustable pressure.. the higher the pressure, the faster the velocity and rate of fire

i havent gotten a video...no video camera.. but its really no different then any other vortex bbmg or cloud just a shitload of fun

Thats a good looking gun. the only thing i can think of that i would change is the handle location, i would make it vertical so its more ile an actual gun grip. but thats just me.

Very nice gun though.

wow this is amazingly awesome! i am not into bbmgs though as they waste to many bbs for my poor ass sweet gun! definately one of the best bbmgs

[fpshutch74]

lol that was a long battle... its too long and bulky that way i spend hours tryin to create something that looked ok yet was practicle
now i find myself holding it more like a scareface sort of way and just wasteing my target with bbs its not as bad as it seens

[fpshutch74]

thanks for the comments guys... its nice to hear that my hardwork has payed off

[rednecktatertosser]

Thats what were here for. Hope you stick around, i look foreward to seeing more of your guns.

[praetorian91]

Your hardwork has definitely paid off. The gun looks great and I'm sure it performs great as well. I always like a good military-themed gun.

Keep buildin',

yea i got a basic combustion cannon made of pvc ..its the "hornet" from advancedspuds.com, its kicks ass, and im planning to make a paintball breech loading cannon. im starting to buy parts and search for valves and whatnot but im taking my time to make it perfect as i did with the bbmg above

[fpshutch74]

thanks again guys

[Acdcmonkey1991]

This could be my favorite bbmg yet

[potatoflinger]

That's really nice. One question though, how long can you shoot on one co2 tank?

[turbohacker]

B-E-A-utifull!!!
You defanately have some work (and mulah) into this gun and I bet it performs wonedurfully!!
Maybe you could... wait, I can think of anything to improve apon.-DRAT!

[fpshutch74]

haha thanks... yea it was a little pricy, ufortunatly i bought alot of stuff but didnt end up using it in the final version, but brassfittings and whatnot dont go to waste. i beleve it was around $100 total but i now have alot of 2 inch pvc and 3/4 inch pvc left over and enough brass fittings for a pneumatic cannon...that doesnt count the air source which was $120 for only the reg and remote

the way i look at it.... besides sports and a little paintball, i dont really have a hobby and i dont play video games or an instrament so its all reletive

[fpshutch74]

as far as the air supply... ive never used it straight up yet, mostly i just do a little shooting here and there, but that promts me to find out, - i still havent found a working pressure that is right, ive noticed after some point of increasing the pressure, distance stops increasing so i have to test a good pressure that can last long, have a nice sting to it, and shoot far

spudthug u could use a homemade bb trap, i use boxes so i can reuse the metal bb's. of course unless you use the gun for airsoft war.


u did a great job fpshutch74, looks like u put alot of work into. my question is did u have the regulator or did u buy it, i want one so i can make my bbmg portable. also can the gun be taken apart.
