Portable Airsoft Gun take 2

So I took apart the old one because it was too cumbersome and figured out a much more compact bullpup configuration. The gun also looks a whole lot better than the first.
I also wanted a better magazine system than a hopper on top. The hopper was annoying and got in the way and it was pretty much crappy in general.
I also added a front handle; now the gun is more like a submachine gun.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make a good magazine for it, but I'm going to Ace again today for some more parts. I have a spring fed design that I'm fairly sure will work this time.

Make sure to read the captions on the pictures of the two magazines to get an explanation.

Looking better than the last one at least. :?
A spring fed mag should work better (less jamming) it's the same diameter as the barrel/breech, right?

as I said earlier you might as well use a hup-up unit with a magazine from an airsoft gun...
but AFAIK that's just a simple T + spring fed mag

I have a working spring fed mag now, made from a 5" long piece of 1/8" steel pipe. Stuck a couple springs in and put an end cap on and it works fine. Unfortunately it feeds too many at once.
So now I'm making another blow forward bolt, but a simple design that will work as soon as I get a drill bit from Ace.
I'm making it so it doesn't work as well as a "normal" blow forward bolt does, but it will do the job, which is cutting the mag off every shot.
