Got bored today, so I decided to clean my room
Found out there were 110 bar left in my paintball tank , so I thought I´d do something "useful" with it
Mounted my new red dot scope on my favorite set machine gun, set up some targets, opened a new pack of .25G BB, and... Enjoy

Fantastic, I love the noise it makes and the phone destruction is a real testimony to the "jackhammer effect"...

I haven't built a "proper" HPA BBMG since I tooled up, perhaps it's time...

Good to heard that Jack
Well I´m gonna go full metal with my next BBMG, also small vortex block for lower ROF so a hop-up can be used, still so I´m looking for a way to make the hop-up replaceable Oh and small chamber so the pressure can build up faster and use less air

I'm thinking, since I have 300 bar on tap from my scuba tank, if an overkill BBMG is a good idea

Or maybe 200 bar from a paintball tank, with the reg removed... this might get a bit dangerous

I wouldn´t do that.
Are you going to use .177 steel bbs as ammo? If you do, are you going to use a vortex system? Don´t know how long does the vortex last untill wear out

I think this notion of vortex blocks wearing out is a bit of a myth to be honest, I've never seen evidence of a block with grooves cut into it from excess use.

It comes from the "mystical" era on spudtech when making a BBMG was a bit of a black art and no one really knew exactly how they worked.

I opened one of my old BBMG and it had a pvc vortex block, It does have some small grooves in it some of them are probably because when I pull the trigger, the fast air input push some of the bbs that were in the way upward before they exit from the barrel.

Interesting... photos, or has it long gone?

Long gone , didn´t thought it was anything revelent... But I make sure next time open this BBMG I will check out the vortex block and take some photo, it probably has some wear out.
Has anybody here ever taken a BBMG to a airsoft game?

I would not recommend it. Power of the individual BBs may be low, but rate of fire makes up for it and it could be very dangerous.

The only safe use I can imagine is indirect fire to pelt an area with BBs to simulate mortar or artillery fire.

I thought about taking mine once I finished... maybe not... on a test fire it went into a wall (solidly, like it was stuck there and you could rub it and it wasn't loose)

I took it once, it works like a long range shotgun quite wasty against single targets, but good for suppressing a group. The air source it´s the biggest problem, even a full 0.8l paintball tank won´t last more than half minute of continue firing

@wyz2285 maybe you should get a scuba tank to power your weapons.

For what? I´m happy with my portable paintabll tanks and I can refill them at home

good point, how do you fill them anyway?
