First Mini - Small and Compact
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 3:08 am
Okay, here goes...
This is my first mini. I have never worked with small things like these before, and have never wasted so much hot glue in my life. Construction consists of a pill bottle, a BIC pen barrel, 100% silver wiring, and a modified disposable BIC long-nosed lighter.
The white spacer used to hold up the chamber from the lighter is actually a small magnetic thing that used to go with a door alarm. Several sticks of hot glue were used to A) keep wire joints together (ran out of solder) and B) attempting to have a straight barrel.
UPDATE: Mon, Jun 25, 07
Sleeved barrel in metal tubing from original lighter.
Taped up everything. All black except for barrel.
Added paper clip stopper inside barrel so BBs (Airsoft) won't fall into chamber.
