You should build an inline vortex. They're much more compact and cheaper to make.

Do you guys think he used just a open 3/4 barrel, or put multiple 6mm barrels inside the 3/4 pipe?

I think that it was either a vortex or a cloud gun, but it could be something more complex. You should definitely build a vortex gun, they're tons of fun.

that is a tee variant vortex gun hes just got one barrel, and if you do decide to build one make an inline with a half hole their fire rate is better

Isn't that just a cloud?
I was expecting to see some flame here :D .

But i can understand how it's a "flamethrower".

Still, an airsoft shotgun would be 10 times better.

Strafers of this type are referred to as "flamethrowers" It's because of their shape and that the air source is usually held on the back of the person firing.

oh OK, and i guess because of the high ROF as well.
I don't know if it would make i difference but it would look more like a flamethrower if you used the orange bb's.

What do you guys think, should I make a triple barreled inline vortex strafer to see how many BBs I can waste in 5 seconds?

Of course you should. Would you make it look like a Vulcan? Either way, it should be nice (considering the other bbmgs you've made).

Hadn't lucky made a double barrelled one on spudtech? Strafers are too wasteful even with one barrel, I don't see why you'd want to exacerbate the situation.

334 fps at over 1600 rounds per minute doesn't sound like the sort of thing you should be shooting people with except at ranges over 50 feet.

Lucky13's was a cloud (lame), but IF I did make one, a vortex would be the way to go. I could also make another sidestrafer, but exactly opposite of the first one, and permanantly attach them to each other.

You could make it like the Villar Perosa M.1915, the first ever 9mm submachinegun :)
