Im from the U.S. and I don't think they sell 6mm coper pipe in U.S. Is there any other sizes for copper that a airsoft bb will fit. But thanks for the info.  |

I can get all sizes of tubing at my hardware store, try there.
Also, if you want to make a vortex BBMG I can make the vortex for you. |

| Or use 9/16" aluminum. It is not as strong as copper but I use it for all my air soft projects! Find it at ace hardware. Comes I think 3foot sections for about 1.50$ |

| Use 1/8 copper, not 1/4, 1/4 is too big. |

| yeah... well he should go with copper anyways, when you get down to the small pvc/cpvc it starts to bend a lot, causing inaccuracy. |
