Need Thoughts on new bb gun im making

Well I'm thinking of building an airsoft bb gun rifle, with the bb's loading in front of the blow gun, similar to a cloud. Just wanted some thoughts on it before I go out there and build it. This is just some plans/designs I drew on paint quickly and yeah.
Image

I'm using a blow gun trigger, probably a 2" chamber, the stock is of another design just using a Tee, 2x 45 degree elbows, and 2x 90 degree elbows attach over the blow gun trigger with a section cut out, so the blow gun trigger fits inside the pipe with the trigger still sticking out. It will only probebly be a one shot gun, as in all the air will be used in one shot, except it will fire approx 3-6 bbs at a time, allmost like a shotgun


Constructive crit is welcome, if you have any ideas that can help me fix it up, don’t hesitate to say them.

Thanks in advance, Thursto.

I thought the blowgun trigger was away from the stock?

Anyway, overall its a good lookign gun, will be good when you finsihed, hopefully it gets some good competition if ya know what i mean :wink:

That air tank is going to last you .12111 seconds. honestly. either make it a piston valved single shot gun or put CO2 and a Regulator on the top of that. and make it an inline vortex, they look nicer and work better than clouds. also, it will be nicer on your CO2 supply (and refil bill) becuae vortex'x use less air to fire off the same amount of BB's a cloud does. Still, thats really nice. i might steal your layout to make a snigle-shot rifle........

Hey VH_man, i will take that into consideration, or you think maybe bigger chamber will help, as the trigger will be a fast closing one? Many Thanks, Thursto

yeah, it probably will. Ill help him make a chamber for your back like im going to, might only last 30 seconds or so, but were not gonna be fully auto firing. it will be bursts every now and then.
but what do youu mean by "I thought the blowgun trigger was away from the stock? "
Look in your picture, the stock is behind the blowgun trigger.

still, 30 seconds isnt much in an airsoft skirmish, but im not sure if youre doing that or not......... I still like the idea of that being a single shot sniper though..... it looks really nice. get yourself a slide valve, and make it semi-auto.... then i would proboably pay 250 bucks for your gun.........

Hey Mr.Russ,

Yeah actually thats not a bad idea mounting it in a backpack, just need to make sure theres no leaks in the bottles in the back pack ey, Cheers mate :)

Yeah, it will just be me vs him, normally last less than a minute lol... its lame though, we dont have anyone else who we can skirmish with, they dont have skill like us at designing guns. We are only 14 ya know 8)
