This is a diagram of the BBMG. it works when I blow in the bottom so when I hook up the vac I get to have fun. :twisted: Yes there's no vortex block but it isn't a cloud either so I don't know what to call it.

Air blows through the bottom of the tube, where there is a small hole in the tube that BBs come in. Then they shoot up and around and out.

Yeah I made the pic too small. But it doesn't blow the BBs around all over, they just fall in the tube and get blown out.

OK here's a better picture for everyone. I haven't hooked up the shop vac yet but just blowing in the bottom without the blowgun on it shoots them out fast.

The only way I know of putting pics in my posts are by editing. If there's another way oh well this is easy enough. Hopefuuly everyone can read that. If you can't I'll put it in some other post. Too tired now.
