ok, i just thought of somthing crazy. this probly wouldnt work, but has any one ever tryed making a vortex gun with a huge, and i mean huge camber and putting a 3/4"cpvc barrel for PAINTBALLS??
it would just be a huge bbmg that shoots paintballs. u would just have to super size everything. the only thing im doubting is air pressure, can a compresor creat enough power to fire that many paintballs??
plz comment this. cuz if theres nothing wrong with it, and there prolly is, but if not SWEET |

| On the Spudtech forums it's been determined that large vortex blocks are impractical and use to much air. I think it was DR who built a ping pong ball BBMG, but it didn't work too well. |

| he made a marble MG, marbles are heavier than paintballs, so maybe it'd work, but you'd need a HUGE resiviour to supply the air |

yeah, and bigger, there was a 500 gallon tank on ebay before, it had a 24" flange fitting on it
and also i think a 1500 gallon has been on ebay before, i'd hate to pay the electric bill for that bad boy |

| I had a design for a paintball machine gun but I never built it because of the lack of money. Basically by using eithor a 3/4" QEV or a solenoid valve, along with a small chamber to accumulate air pressure (I'm thinking aproximately a 1:1 ratio between the chamber and the tee). The affect of this design is it jwould create a sort of burst fire pb machine gun. A 3" tee could be used as the hopper along with a paintball vortex block. The vortex block could be made with a 3" PVC rod with a 1.5" hole drilled in the center. The intake hole for the vortex should be drilled to 5/8" and the hole for firing the paintballs should be aproximately 11/16" (0.6875). I hope I explained that well enough and I'm not sure exactly how well it would work because i haven't seen a design like it before. I will try to post a diagram if anyone is interested. |

Sorry bout the pessimism. If you have the resources, by all means, try it. There's nothing like a little R&D to further the spudgunning world. But if you do build it, you had better post some pics, because we'll all want to see it.  |

| One thing I will experiment with this summer is a simple cloud paintball machine gun. I will post the results when it is completed. |

| yeah, that may have been a bit eccessive, but i know DR got about 15 seconds in his marble machine gun using a 15 gal. tank and a 1" ball valve to dump all of the air. |
