I am starting comsruction of this gun already. It will be a vertically spring-fed cloud design that runs off a tank that I forgot to put in the first diagram. The tank will be about 1 foot of 2" PVC attached to the gun, maybe with a hand pump attached. I wouldn't want this to be powerful, just for playing with my friends.

EDIT: oopsies, put the whole BB chamber yellow. Oh well, too late to change it now.

ehh, spring fed? How would it work as a cloud if all the bb's are crammed tight into that tube by a spring?

yeah what's the deal with that? I think a good idea would be to have a slim co2 tank either 9 or 12 oz encased in a stock to provide air. You make interchangable cloud tubes. Shoot one through and just screw on a new one to reload.

looks like It could work, but the mag needs revision. take out the spring, or put a very very weak one in it. . oh, btw, what is the pic in your avatar, noname?

It's spring fed because it's not actually supposed to be a cloud BBMG. I didn't want to have to make a magazine that fit into the tubes I use. I made it that way so that the BBs are already in or near the barrel so if I squeeze the blowgun onncefor just a little amount of time, it'll shoot only one or two BBs. I'm not going to put a CO2 tank on because, 1, I only have 20 ounce tanks, and 2, I really don't want to buy a regulator right now.
Schmanman, it's my sniper rifle.
