Camo Cloud

Hey guys,

Thought i'd dip my feet in the bb gun section of the spudding community.

And this is what i came up with:

I use beads for ammo from crazy's. they measure about 5mm and the brass tube i have has an internal diameter of about 5.5 so they fit rather well.

My poly pipe end cap has a rubber gasket in there so no thread seal tape is needed!

I will have damage up soon, even at 40psi this rips through cans, havnt had a chance to fully test it yet at higher pressures.

comment and criticize

Thats a nice looking gun. I like the ingenious use of camo cloth and electrical tape. 8)

Yeah man thats a great looking gun.

cant wait to see what kind of damage it can do at 110 psi

should be good.

Its so simple... I love it. What about clear fishing line or cable ties instead of black tape?

camdaman38 · Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:05 am

Yeah i am with Watto on this one Carl. I dont know why you didnt use something a little more inconsipicous as a tie down for the camo.

But it still looks like its in for some serius fun and i am sure it will be used for some time to come.

Also carl what have you put around your barrel (liek what size is it?)

But i am still loving it aswell as knowing it can go through the West Aus Paper at 110 psi in a 2 second burst.

:D:D

Great work carl hope to see more, mainly your golfball gun.

hey guys thanks for the responses, i used elec tape cauz it held it the best i could stretch the cloth and hold it there firmly.

yes it ripped through a 1" thick newspaper in about 1 - 2 seconds, i was shocked as all hell

Oooh. Quite simple, how well does it shoot?
Accuracy wise?

its pretty acurate as far as i have tested it, i ghetto mounted a red laser on it and was shooting up a 3" target at 15m, but thats the furtherest i have tested it distance wise, when ma rents go out ill test it more for distance.

Cool. Thats quite accurate

went for a semi distance shot cept the curved of at about 20m, does that mean i need a hop up?

watto · Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:02 am

I thought it was cos your using beads with a hole in the middle?

Spherical projectiles tend to curve alot at long ranges. You don't neccessaraly need hop-up, just some sort of spin.

Carlman · Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:22 am

yea the hole might have something to do with it, i was just looking for an answer.

so a hop up would stop the curve?

ammosmoke · Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:28 am

Most likely would. It keeps the bb's from spinning randomly from the imperfections in the barrel that they hit. In other words, it forces the bb's to have a uniform spin direction. In this case, backspin, which is nice because it keeps the bb's going on a level flight path. Its how I got mine to quit fussing...
