I think iv got the basic idea of how these work, So would this work or not?

ALso would it be very powerful, if i was to use 115psi of air? Like shoot through coke cans?
and what are the advantages of vortex ones?

The barrel with be longer, but the inside of that tube is 7.5mm so would it still work for 6mm BBs?

Thanks

i would add a ball valve between the quick connect and the gun.

and the closer the fit in the barrel the more powerful it will be. I have heard brake line works very well for 6 mm bbs.

Just tap the quickconnect straight into the cloud chamber; the smaller the volume, the more powerful.

I cant tap it in as im using 22mm copper pipe that is only 0.9mm thick.

But do you think it will work?

Also I was thinking of adding a ballvalve or a blowgun after the Quick connect, what would work better? I was thinking the blowgun would let the air last longer but the ball vlave would allow more power?

Then again I could open the ballvalve a little bit if i wanted.

The chamber volume of that will be pretty big, so try to plug something to increase performance. Other than that, it looks fine.

the ball valve wont add any more or less power. its just a much better trigger to turn the gun off and on as opposed to disconnecting or connecting the quick disconnect everytime you want to cut the air off to the gun.

i guess the ball valve would help conserve air a little bit too.

How big should the place th bbs go in be? not it is about 40cm of 22mm pipe in total, that is about 125ml, and Iv seen people use 1.5" pipe for there clouds so theres (at 15cm) would be 190ml, Is it because mine is long?

Would the bbs that are in the handle at the bottom stay there or will they also get blown out the barrel?

Thanks

they will get blown out if you keep your air source where it is
