XxtriviumxX said my last bbmg looked like a MP 40. After seeing the picture I decided to make one.
I tried to make it as close to a real one. It has a tight bore barrel 12 in. long. the grip and mag and about everything else is pvc. The tapered outer barrel is an old golf club shaft. I used ferrel fitting to run from the blow gun to the block which is plexiglass. I put a smaller plexiglass window in this one.

looks good... im glad to see you used a tightbore..
One suggestion would be to clean up around the trigger area... but other than that it looks great!

It doesn't cost much to build one. The barrel cost more then anything else. It takes a lot of time because everything is custom fitted.How do you post a video? I've looked for information but haven't found anything about posting videos. I can take the grip off easily and may put a push button blow gun in place of the one with the handle. Fix a trigger on it to push against the button.

You post a video by uploading it on youtube/photobucket and then link it to here.

If you don't mind me asking....What did you use for the magazine clip/handle? It looks very realistic. Toy gun I presume?...

I'll have to try a video. It is accurate, doesn't spread the bbs like some I 've made. It would keep shooting through the same hole if you didn't move it. I've only tried it at 25 feet for test fire.

I heated a 1 in. piece of pvc and flattened it and flattened the T where it went in. I cut a piece of pvc for the bottom of the clip. The grip was 2 in. heated and formed.
I have a radiant heater in the garage that i use to heat up the pvc. I can hold it their till it get soft without burning it and then form it the way I want.

very nice. and next time, just use the "edit" option instead of double-posting.
but how did you go upon heating the pvc? oven or boiling water? I'm pretty sure you didn't use a torch because I don't see any scorch marks...
anyway, very nice job! hope to see more projects from you

Hey not bad... Actually, quite good. I like it!
When I make a vortex, (as opposed to my clouds) I MUST make it look like something. Wait a second.... HEH, I got an old medium sized LPEG. Sorta M4 ish. Heck, it's worth a try, that gun sucks.
EDIT: Oh, and btw the mp40 wasn't the grease gun. The mp40 was a german gun. The m3 was the grease gun, and american gun.

Doesn't look like there is much to clean up.
