If you can't find a spring long enough you might can make one yourself. I coiled one, tempered it, and then burned oil around it to make it springy for my BBMG. A washer, or a piston would work great for pushing the BBs in.
wow what did you do again, i mean what material cause I haven't bought music wire for making springs and I want to know if I really have to order more crap to get shipped to me

My dad had some black iron wire to make it with.

thats a mean-lookin gun you got there............. if only you could buy 50000000000000000000 airsoft bb's for 20 bucks.......

imagine a strafer with THAT much ammo......... (wishful thinking)

and yeah, are those metal bb's? thats gotta do some serious damage. the only strafer i made was a cloud, and it shot .12 gram bb's, and that was pretty powerful. someday, when i have a job and money, ill build a strafer just for kicks.........

yah, it probably doesnt mean much, but tippmann pnuematics also experimented with propane as a gas sourse for a paintball gun, but they had the had the same problem as you, and ended up saking a single shot pump gun - the tippmann c-3, i use HPA becuase i have the tanks from my paintball gear for all my guns/cannons. They have insane recharge rates and dont freeze things up, along with a fairly high capacity and low weight
