So I took a trip to home depot tonight and within 20 minutes after I got back I created this:
 BTW I don't know why the image quality sucks because I took it at 1 MP And about the pneus, they will be removed as soon as I get the money to buy a WWA Sniper Kit (After I get a phantom of course) The one you see can hold like 13. I have another that holds 18 and one more that holds 23. -------------

Tolga: If you taper the inside of the tube, you can stick 10 round tubes in there.

The valving is too inconsistant for a 12 gram. I'm going to use the sniper on CA and the phantom on 12 grams.

another thing you could do is make slots in it so you knew how many rounds you have left and if one fed... just a thought! looks awesome... some of the cleanest looking home made ones i've seen |

BTW, it cost me about $1.81 if you don't count the electrical tape I
used to wrap the tubes. 25 cents of that is a quarter that I put in
there to prevent the balls from rolling too far forward. Also, I
haven't figured out how to make a speedgate for the end so loading it
on the field is nearly impossible.

just do it the way they load shotguns in video games, one shell(or in this case, paintball) at a time.
or just use a clear pvc. -------------

It said 1/2 inch but it's obviously not truly that small. Just take a larger size paintball top your local home improvement store and find the tube it fits just right in. If it gets stuck just sand the entire inside with like a power drill that has some sort of tube sanding attachment to it or something. Right over the vert feed is a T-adapter (I really should have used a 90 degree PVC elbow) and on the other side is a cap that fits around the T-adaptor. I put the quarter in there with some TP to push it agains the pipe. When you buy the pipe, just get the full length it comes in. It's cheap and you never know if you need a replacement tube or want to make mags. Don't forget to get extra caps if you want to make mags. -------------
