Fishing sinkers as ammo

I was looking around the fishing section at my local walmart when i found some 1/4 and 1/2 fishing sinkers, They look perfect for ammo. Its made out of 100% lead and has a good weight to it. they have a little hole in it for the string, which pretty much makes it a hallow point. Check out the pics, ...

Nice! Great first cannon! Welcome to Spudfiles!! Eventhough the tank seems oddly placed, I imagine it is very well balanced like that. I like unconventional. I remember the first time I cut up a can like that.( great exit hole!! :D ) Nothing can beat those first couple of shots. Enjoy it! Thank you...

C02 powered air cannon

This is an idea i've been working on for a few days now, It is otherwise a plane old air gun except for a fixed pressure c02 regulator (150 psi) where the recharge fitting for the tank would otherwise go. the threaded 16 gram c02 bottle which you can get pre-charged. I got mine at walmart. the can w...
