BBMGs Are Now Portable!
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 10:13 am
About a week ago, I made my cloud BBMG. I then, of course, wanted to take it everywhere with me cause it was so much fun (pop cans, birds, little kids, etc. 
). I started out unplugging the compressor and carrying it around but it was way too heavy. I was going to make a backpak air tank using PVC pipe but 4" is really expensive. So I searched for alternatives. I found a 10 gallon air tank that gets filled up by a compressor and then is portable. I had to unscrew one pice (it comes with an air chuck to fill up tires and stuff, and that doesnt work with a BBMG) and screwed a nipple and a female quick release for a tube to my BBMG. 10 gal. is a lot of air. It lasts a really long time. Most compressors are between 1 and 3. The tank itself weighs 30lbs, which isnt much and is less than PVC would weigh. It only costs between $30 and $40. Well worth it and great fun . Just type into google air comppressor tank and you'll find it. Theres also a 5 gal model.
