Compact potato gun (self contained)

I made this gun a couple years ago when I was in high school to be able to shoot teachers at the front of the bus with paper balls, but I have since grown up :wink: . I started off taking apart one of those big air powered streamer things that you get at firework stands around the 4th. This would be...

I think Kenny said that you only get 10k from bondo, and that aluminum and pvc are good

I've also planned on making a clip fed BBMG. As soon as i get some pictures drawn up of my idea i'll post them. The reason why I want to make one is to shoot out pellets, so really it should be called a PMG ;)

it took 3 tubes of epoxy, so it was 5.99 for all of it, but the hardest part of making it was cutting it, i used a band saw and it still was like cutting concrete. lolz
