Dude, you cranked this out in one day, and in most cases, that isn't really the best way to go. I hope it works!!

[nosebleedXD]

haha yeah i read a couple of your post about spending the time to make a good gun rather than making alot of guns in a short period of time

but i dunno how i can spend my time building "A GOOD GUN" when i know how to build everything and yeah, maybe i should spend more time building the block and design

[Gun Freak]

But seriously I spent a few days just making the block on mine! And it payed off, no jams yet. It has not failed me.

Yeah he tells me that all the time, but its good to make a cheap quick prototype before you make a realalistic expensive time consuming one, after a while your want to start making good, asthetic guns, good work on this one BTW

k lol i shot my gun, wasnt that great at first my shroud is made out of construction paper and then it got jammed
ROFl

then i fixed it and it fired like crazy from just one burst

but yeah its not as efficient as some builds i've seen from other people

ill build another gun with a better block and barrel later lol

does anyone know some specific builds, materials with dimensions and stuff for perfection

mine
But seriously, I think mine is pretty well built and it is as efficient as it can be except for the barrel, which is 7.14mm. I want to get some 6mm tube that I can put inside the existing barrel though.

The commonly accepted optimum hole is 3/4". I would also recommend not using construction paper next time. I have found aluminum flashing to work well for shrouds.

@gunfreak

hey i like the vortex block you made, mine was uneven

btw did you shove a pvc inside your wooden block?

@irisher
oh alright, thanks, i was thinking of using wood like gun freak as a shroud

but anyways i now know if you make everything to perfection it will work perfectly

btw what do you guys think work best as a vortex block

and im using a 1 1/2 abs chamber

[irisher]

Wood could work but it will wear out. I used clay formed around a short piece of pipe. It was easy to install and allowed me to make the hopup inside of the clay block.

[Gun Freak]

Wood works fine for me because I reinforced the inside with PVC. Also the wood I used for the shroud is still good.

Back when I used to make vortex blocks, I just went to a local plastics store and asked for acrylic blocks, 1/2" thick x 1.5" long x 1.25" height (for 1 1/4" PVC). I could make probably 4 blocks in an hour with a drill, ruler, and a sharpie without much trouble.
I've never had a jam, a broken block, or any kind of vortex block malfunction at all.

Decent work for a first gun, by the way.

[noname]

Uh, first post in like a year fail?

[nosebleedXD]

haha i wish i had a local plastic store

but anyways, you guys know where to get some clear parts?

i wanna build a clear gun so i know if my gun is jammed or not

like clear pvc perhaps

[irisher]

I know that one of our sponsors sell clear Pvc. I don't know what size or length though.
