i based the length of my barrel on the real life size of the WA2000. the rifle is 905 mm in length. total If you see where a magazine is placed on it, it gives me just enough room to fit the gear box behind it.
this whole assembly ends right about 248mm from the back of the gun which means that i have about 657mm to the very very end of the gun. if I end the barrel 17 mm (about 3/4 inch) from the end of the muzzle it would give me 640 and protect the barrel adequately
If you have a better suggested barrel length id love to hear it because this is my first time doing something like this.
will this bore up kit suffice in anybody's opinion?

As always thanks for all the help so far. I've got the gearbox, hop up, body and battery all figured out.
what kind of piece is needed to make a magazine release its bb's? i figured i might use the classic army m24 mag since it will be simple to mount. does the hop up metal casing open the piece that allows the bb's to flow? or is there something else?
