I made my first bbmg out of scrapped guns but it kept jamming so i placed a plastic cone in it and it hasn't jammed so far but i wanted to know before i glue it all together,will this be suffice or should i make a vortex block or something.Thank you an sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to bbmg`s.

well, one problem might be the placement of your air intake, its usually placed on the bottom of the chamber at a 90* angle to the barrel. but if you want to stay with this setup, i think the cone will help.

Agreed with the above, a ventrally placed air inlet will agitate the BBs more reliably and result in feed that is less prone to jamming.

In a cloud you usually place the airflow routed in from the bottom of the chamber. Try this.. It helps agitate the bb's.
