BBMG for fun

BBMG for fun
In my first instructable I am going to show how I made my first BBMG.

This design worked pretty good. It shoots alot of bbs in a real short time.

if you used a longer barrel it would probably be more acurate but i was going for portability and rate of fire so i made a pistol instead of a rifle.
it was a lot of fun I have seen others but this one I designed myself and wanted to share it.

I used a block of wood an old pump action bb pistol, a paintball hopper, an air gun, Hot glue and some aluminum from a street sign. (I didn't steal it) Oh and a little JBWELD

step one was to take apart the BB gun and get the barrel. and the handle.

I took a peice of 1x6 and just cut off a peice about a foot long. I found that I didn't need that much.

Lay the barrel on the wood and get about an inch in and trace the barrel so you know where to draw the circle for the vortex.
