This gun was really more of an experiment than another one of my mini replicas. Me and and friend were about to watch a movie but decided to get some drinks and stuff first. We were talking about how its great to be able to make minis from nearly anything and were planning on a suitable chamber for a G303 Mini. I said tic tac boxes but he just would not think it possible. So just to rub it in his face I bought 3 packs and stuck them together that evening. We attached a clicker to the last one and put some gas in each chamber. Didnt work. I tried another 5-6 times. Nope. Then on the 7-8 try..... click, bang bang bang! The first one ignited and in turn ignited the other ones. It felt and sounded like a real uzi (nearly) Only thing is it is single shot with no mag feeder or anything. Packs a massive punch and gives a huge recoil. Fires potatoes best but I like to send spitballs across the room occasionally.

Its hard to look gangsta with a gun made out of tic tac packs.

Pretty small for a gun with that power.

Im gonna try to make myself one of these, looks sweet. I wouldnt have thought tic tac boxes would hold the pressure, they seem to crack very easily

Thanks guys. Actually u are very right cardinals. They do hold it but the packs expand when shot so I covered myne in this special sealent stuff let it dry and covered it in tape (paint wont dry on the sealent). Do not fire it on its own reinforce it. The barrel is once again a peice of my 1/4 inch piping. Im trying to keep all my minis with the same barrel exept for the 'rist rocket' (almost complete smallest spudgun in world, its as long as my little finger and as wide as my thumb, Im 14 so thats fairly small). After the wrist rocket Im gonna do a Custom AK47 without the curved banana clip, its gonna be like a straight G303's clip. Keep your eyes open for it and thanks! :D :D .

as long as your little finger and as wide as your thumb? ur gonna have a helluva time with that fuel air mixture. I thought mine was small, it was about 5 inches long and an inch wide, no power what so ever, I might try my hand at another tiny mini if I find what would be a good chamber and barrel

Yeah its not really meant to be a powerful mini I just want to see how small can I physiccally possibly go. If it doesnt work never mind If it does thats great. When I upload my AK47 you should make that instead of the Uzi. It is already looking way way better and has 4 tic tac chambers. The Uzi was really just a test to see If tic tacs were a reliable chamber.

I just threw together a mini out of a pen for a chamber and a tube about 4 inches long and about 1/8 inch ID, I dont have any more piezos lying around, so its gonna have to wait to be tested
I finished my coke bottle and 3/4 inch copper tube mortar, I completely wrapped it in electrical tape so it just looks like a blob of electrical tape with a little copper tubing sticking out. I haven't been able to fire it yet because I cant get a good spark with the piezo I am using. also It is freezing out so I didnt feel like going out side, I did fire a blank though, it scared the crap out of me cause I wasnt expecting it to fire because of the weak spark

Nice one :D ! Is your pizo just one like myne out of a gas lighter? Maybe because of your larger chamber volume you need to use a larger device maybe a bbq clicker, disposable camera tazer, stungun or evn make your own spark generator from bits at a radio shack or a dick smith. To test my minis in england (cold) I just stood by my window and fired outside. If your house is warm it should be ok. :mrgreen: .

I used to fire out my window but my parents get mad, ya, I do use a piezo out of a lighter cause thats all I had. Ill eventually get to getting a larger one. Maybe I will steal the piezo off of the morter for my pen tube mini

What Ive done, as I had been getting low on money and lighters cost a lot If you need like 10. I have 1 piezo with wires and crocodile clips on the end. Then on all of my mortars that do not require the piezo attatched to them strip about an inch of the ends of the wires and use 1 piezo for like 5 mortars.

Rambo, don't get a mini one (less than 5 gallons). The vortex and clouds suck air like terrible, and will run out one in serveral firings.

I found a camera, but I think I fried it playing with the spark. It quit working and got really hot and was smoking, so I will do your Idea
