get a shorter hose... and buy a "gun sleeve" that goes over a rifle... it would just slide over the hose and use zip straps to hold it in place.

hey singularity, how much you want for that barrel? lemme know how much shipping might cost to 37138 as well... i might be interested.

Ahh, its an easy fix, long as you are using a thin barrel (are you?). Near the breach, like a few inches from the vortex, you take a very small triangular file (a larger file will work, tilt it at 45 degrees), and file out a very fine notch at the top of the barrel, so that only a little tiny ...

a little more detail here please... sounds interesting.

here you go , courtesy of Jimmy ;)

thanks... but i think something like that would be difficult for a vortex block as you can't get to the part with a larger drill bit where the rubber tube would need to go... hmm....

I guess you could ...

One way of lowering the ROF is by adding a tight piece of flexible tubing at the breech, it will also give you more power as it allows pressure to build up in the BB chamber before it fires. The tricky bit is to get the right compression in the tube that will release the BB only when high pressure ...

wow, that's a lot of rounds per second... does anyone know how to decrease the rate of fire with a vortex? that seems excessive.

Maybe their are some probs with my beverage regulator.
Here is a paintball reg that is resonibly priced and very reliable...

that is way too expensive... I already have a coil system. I ...

only time will tell...

can't. I won't have direct access to the gun while it's needing to be used... thus, i need a solenoid.

singularity, guess you'll have to wait and just see what I'm coming up with.

hey, that's good to hear... i'm about to make an inline and i'm glad you got good results. so no shroud eih? let us know if it jams.

hey thanks for the input guys... i have a contact that is supposed to be getting in smaller solenoids and they will let me know when they get them... and i will buy one and try it out.

the reason for the large size and what not is that it's going inside a larger piece... i won't disclose my project ...

Noob here... I've been planning a gun that I'm planning to build and the internals are going to be an inline vortex. Picture is attached.

I plan to make the gun out of 3" sch40... and about 6" long.

Now, a few questions...

Has anyone setup one like this that can give tips? I'm thinking I'll need ...
