I recently found myself researching spud guns and I wanted to build something small first to see if I was really interrested... now I'm hooked! This is my first dinky little gun. Made with travel size Tylenol bottle, pen casing, 2 thumb tacks, electrical tape and BBQ ignitor. I use Old Spice body spray to shoot Q-Tips aprox. 55 feet. Very simple yet fun toy! I have plans now for a much larger spud gun... hope to begin work on the electrical system this week :) cheers

Every spudder should make one of these. For about $5 and 15 mins, it's well worth it!

My first gun was also this same design, and it is still one of my favorites for some reason. But i've built two more since then, working on a rifle now :twisted:

Yep now just make a $10 combustion, then you could move up propane and stunguns and such. Or you could go pneuematic. Good job btw.
