I'm glad you've stuck with this project to the end. I was afraid your "blow in half" experience was going to discourage you. Really really nice gun. Build yourself a mount of some sort and show it off in the living room!

WOW !! awesome gun :D
damage pics would be the only thing to add
do you shoot your new ammo against something or far away
because against something will ruine it but far away you might can't find it anymore

and ofcourse this is one of the best looking :D

that is an awesome gun. i really like it, especially the decals and paint make it look extraordinary. i was wondering what is your setup for ignition. i really like the idea of housing the electronics in a box. it just looks so nice i want to make one for myself :D

Edit: i have an airsoft just like yours :)

Yes he is but the thread is still open for discusion and to learn from.

I think it's 2" inchs maby 2 1/2" inchs.

You may possibly go to nerf.com and find out the diameter of the ball.

I think spudfarm meant that since he's banned, he won't be replying as of the barrel size...

Pocket Vortex fit almost perfectly inside 2" Sch40. They are 1.937inchs diameter (at the ball). The fins are just slightly larger.
