My first BBMG

[adem70]

2" aluminum outer tube, airsoft ak47 length barrel, 1 inch vortex block. shoots very high rps at 150 psi, and shoots far and hard. this will be one that I am planning on playing with at local airsoft events,

heres a quick video of it running on 70 psi

Finally put the finishing touches on the gun, still waiting for the regulator and hose however, heres some updated pics..

Plague is my callsign, so i write "PLague Original" on all of the things i create.

Yay for backwards m4 front sights!!

flip up rear sight, modded so it can be used in the unflipped position

Nice, you going to add a handle or just leave the blow gun like it is.

[adem70]

if i can find a handle, and figure out a way too attach it i will probably use one

[irisher]

I would look into using polymorph to mold a handle around the blowgun.

[adem70]

Not sure exactly what you mean by polymorph? is it some type of plastic? also where can i get it? thanks. I tried looking it up but worldofwarcraft stuff came up lol.

Good job, but you might want to turn it down if you'll be shooting at people at close range, remember the jackhammer effect

Ive only heard of people finding it on ebay, but it might be worth looking at a hobby store

[adem70]

hmm 6 dollars for 100 grams of it, thats not that much.... how much would a typical grip/handle take?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Another option would be cutting up a cheap airsoft pistol and epoxying the grip in place

[clemsonguy1125]

What's your vortex block made from, does it have shims, and a spring

[adem70]

aluminum, machined all the parts out of aluminum on my schools machine shop, every part except the fernco ends are aluminum, tube, block, end caps, and bb pusher. the bbs are pushed by a spring, not sure what you mean by shims though. it does have a shroud around it, it goes just over half of the way down the block

[clemsonguy1125]

Shims and shrouds are the same thing thanks

[adem70]

yep, no problem. I actually have a spare block of aluminum for the vortex block and another shorter airsoft barrel, i was thinking about making a more compact version out of 1 inch tubing lol

If you live in the U.S., don't look for Polymorph (it's a UK brand). Look for Friendly Plastic, or order some ShapeLock online.

BTW, nice gun.

[adem70]

thanks, ill look for that.
