Looks pretty good for a first, though I'm still biased towards vortexes...oh well.

[benstern]

I like it!!! I love clouds cause of ease of manufacture and use.

[spudthug]

haha i plan on making a vortex they seem better looks wise but alot of people told me i should build a cloud first...i almost bought a vortex block from u...ill make sure i buy on from u when i make a vortex gun though



EDIT: ill still buy one from u even if u think im a post whore....lol


EDIT2: btw guys check out my AMG gun

An easy way to make a vortex gun would just be to secure a vortex block inside that cloud chamber, you wouldn't spend any extra money making the vortex gun and you'd still have the regular cloud if you made the block detachable.

[spudthug]

when i make a vortex i am gonna make sure i know what i am doing....i am gonna research the wiki and some other sites and this...plus i jsut spent a shat load of money on this and my amg

[lukemc]

Man what an amazing gun that is just spectacular!! who ever gave you those plans must have been a genius. lol

[spudthug]

haha genius...[sarcastic] naw i got the plans from some idiot who bought them off of ebay for like 15 cents[sarcastic] anyway thanks luke

[spudthug]

oh wow does this work awesome!!! i jsut tested it but im not gonna test it anymore until it full dires...it shoots those frigging bbs hard...it still has a bit of grease in the barrel though....my bbs got covered in grease so im gonna try to clean it some more...

[nate_003]

are you shooting plastic or steel bbs. cause i made one that looked exactily like that and it did not work i was shooting steel bbs.

[Petrie]

what is your barrel made of looks like it is coupled in the middle. if it is it could be a lot smoother shooting if you used a one piece barrel

[imablackskater]

nice cloud it i needs a paint job though so you not done yet mua ha ha

well make a vortex since clouds are very easy just challenge yourself man i made you blow into and it works.

Ok, because I dont want to start a new topic to ask a question about bbmgs, I guess I'll ask here:
Is there really a way to determine the best barrel length for a bbmg? obviously something like 1.5:1 doesnt apply to something with a compressor tank hooked up to it. I did use the search link and wiki but couldnt find anything relevant.
Would a barrel of say 3 feet be acceptable without robbing any power?

also nice gun spudthug. I agree give it a snazzy paint job.

[lukemc]

i think for a bbmg a C:B ratio dosent realy apply basily the longer the barrel the better (correct me if im wrong)

[MrCrowley]

And the smaller the chamber....but then you have fewer BB's so there must be some point where you can get a decent ROF from a nice long barrel with enough BB"s in the chamber yet the chamber is small enough to have good performance.
