here she is, it has a fairly small vortex block, me and my dad made it out of red oak, it is housed inside a 1" tee, with a 1 inch to 3/4" brushing, and i have glued a half an inch peice of pvc wraped in electric tape into the 3/4 of an inch pipe, and glued the sawn off blowgun into the pvc pipe, the barrel is bic pens, and on the outside is 1 inch pvc, and the handle on the rear is a 45 degree angle 1 inch pvc joint, and some 1 inch pvc and an endcap, havent tried it yet, as the glue is still curing, i shall try it after school tommorrow, i am onky 12 years old, so school is a priority, i shall get up some damage pics if it works, and i will operate it at about 80-90 psi, i have an airtank, i asked pvc arsenal if i could copy his design of his unconventional cloud, and he said yes, so i had copied his original design a little, but it is more extended, and the handle is slightly diffrent, and there are no hoses, and there is a barrel cover, and no plug, enough with the chit chat, there she is.

It looks like a pretty good gun from what I can tell, but would it be possible to take some pictures that don't look like they were taken through a fish tank?

she is a beauty! i wanted to make one like this. is it airsoft or .177 cal? if u ever take out the block i would like to see a pic of it next to a quarter or something for size comparison, never seen one this small. good job!

ok, it is just over the size of a quarter, it works just as planned, and it shoots airsoft, i am not alowed to shoot .177 cal. the vortex block was a lot of work because of how hard the wood is, my dad cut out the half circle, and the outside of the block. i was trying to make it more compact, like the unconventional cloud, but i didnt, i tthink i might shorten it later, off to school, so i gotta go, see ya.

Sorry had to edit due to poor grammar. Im going to make 3 replicas of this gun would it hurt firing bbs at each other??

it will sting a little, but it will be fine, it shoots at about 250 fps. i would love to see your replicas when ur done. it took me about an hour to make, really simple.
