My first "spud gun"

Miniature guns are novelty custom, unique, and sometime downright crude! Common construction materials often include pill bottles or pens. Show us your work!

Here's my gun. It fires bb's, spitballs, and food =). Very ghetto =p. I'ma get my fish food can as it is a big container that's fits in my hand so I will scrap this container and use the fish food one =). My gun shoots around 50fps at peak which is very rare. How can I up the fps and measure fuel? As you can see I am a Taekwondo competitor by my sparring gear =p

Try looking up "fuel meters" something from Jackssmirkingrevenge.

You've got a start and now your hooked, don't fight it, just research and build, improvement will come naturally.

Exactly what he said. My first "cannon" was JUST like that. But I was hooked, and I even knew more about them BEFORE I built that little one.. I just built it for fun, and then a few months later, I made a pneumatic rifle, all from watching youtube videos. You'll get better!!

Scrap the one you have (bin it)
Get a decent sized chamber (60ml+)
Get a syringe
can of butane
long barrel
and some plastic bags for burst disks.

..... :roll:

For airsoft, I found that less than 50 ml's yielded bad power. An airsoft combustion usually calls for a detent since the pressures generated when shooting a 1/4 gram airsoft pellet is laughable.
