I am making a cloud bbmg and i am wondering if i take the Co2 part of a paintball gun and adapt it into the loading tube.. will it lift the bbs up just like air will.. i am giving pictures of what it looks like..

So instead of an air feed, you feed it with a CO2 supply?
Possible, but there are some drawbacks:

-Cost. A BBMG is VERY inefficient and wastes are like no other. This makes CO2 expensive and rather impracticable.
-Safety. Unregulated CO2 will create up to 800psi, which can blow up most chambers. Make sure to regulate it and seriously spend a few bucks on that popoff valve.
-Temperature. Also a point of safety. The cold CO2 freezes stuff up sometimes, which makes things brittle.

The only good point of using CO2 would be:
-Free portability

maybe you would need to ditch PVC for this project and get a regulator too.... i would reccomend pressure rated ABS if you can get it as it doesn;t become brittle with the cold and it doesn;t shatter either.

Goodluck finding it

I think you misspelled "pressure rated ABS." It is supposed to be spelled like this: "Metal."
I can guarantee that you will not find any plastic pipe that will hold 800psi, at any decent size

thats why i also reccomended a regulator

yeah and we can get pressure rated abs in the UK fine... although there is not as many pipe sizes as pvc

With any unregged CO2 setup:
Metal is a must.

Regulated CO2 does not make much sense to me.
Why use PVC and 150 psi if you can use metal and use 4 times that?

Yep....

I did...

wich is why I am still alive today!
