well, one problem might be the placement of your air intake, its usually placed on the bottom of the chamber at a 90* angle to the barrel. but if you want to stay with this setup, i think the cone will help.

Agreed with the above, a ventrally placed air inlet will agitate the BBs more reliably and result in feed that is less prone to jamming.

In a cloud you usually place the airflow routed in from the bottom of the chamber. Try this.. It helps agitate the bb's.
