I'd be a little concerned about 1/8" fittings breaking with normal wear and tear (not pneumatic functioning, just getting knocked around).
As long as they're not made of paper I wouldn't be too concerned.

I would have never of thought of this technique pretty good results to and could laminate the end result in epoxy to make it last.
Less weight and a lot less money out of my pocket.

Main problem at the moment is finding a place for the internals to fit as they are pretty large compared to gun overall size.

If you're using it with plastic BBs it should be fine.
