create a file attachment. Just click browse where it says filename and find it in your files.

Oh yeah! You might even get 3 BBs out of the barrel!

Sorry, just couldn't resist. That definitely wouldn't work. You'd have not enough pressure for less than a second.

the pressure would excape too fast to be useful

for this amount of effort you could drive to your local hardware store and dump 100 bucks on a cheap compressor, and make a full auto bbmg!

Well, I think Pyro mean that it’s not supposed to be full auto, but instead a way to shot short bursts of bbs, propelled by combustion.
You certainly would achieve a higher pressure with a hybrid rather then with a compressor... but as pyromaniac said, the gasses would escape around the bbs to fast; not creating the "flow" needed to suck them out of the barrel... at least that what I think.
Dump the vortex design and go for something more like a breech. Good thinking though!

Combustion-generated pressure is generaly considered to subside pretty quickly - within a few seconds, that is.

That's still quite a few bbs.

I meant make a 2 liter combustion chamber out of steel and run it at 8X so it hisses for 2-7 seconds

I am making it and I will tell you how it works

i already finished the vortex disk

Yeah but combustion is a very short blast of air and you won't be able to use all of it if its going through a tiny tube. You need a pretty continuos air flow to get any bbs out of the barrel. I would be surprised if you got 1 out.

well it's a good idea, tell us how it works!

Yeah, put in 8 times the amount of propane... Might help a bit.
Seriously, give up. This is not one of the best ideas ever to come up. (Trying to put it politely, usually putting new peoples' ideas straight down the drain is frowned upon)

OK your going to make something way harder than just your run of the mill vortex and it will be much weaker. I belive if you are going to make one just use a design that works and will work consistantly.

This isn't going to work. But I would like to see your injuries when you shoot it!

Dude spud stuff you post count is 1337! Thats so cool!
Anyways you really shouldnt put an 8x mix. You WILL be exploded.
