Your "messy" workbench. Huh, you should see mine.
So is that a mini with a silencer or what? You said it was a silencer, be more descriptive.

@Kenny_McCormic
Silencers for spudguns are not illegal. We've discussed this quite a few times. However, building one that could be adapted for use on a gunpowder-powered firearm is strictly illegal.

Additionally, can you really imagine a cop getting you in trouble for trying to quiet down your potato cannon?

BTW, In my state (WA) you can legally own silencers for .22 cal, but nothing bigger.

@zeigs spud
Nice design. Very creative. How well does it work?

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Only silencers that can be addapted for real guns are off ATF worry. paintball silencers can be made it just costs alot because u need to send them in to become aproved so they "checkd"

thanks for....enlightening him lol.

umm i don't know how it works. i'm probaly gonna test it next weekend.

i'm assuming that it will work ALOT better than the original becuase the original was just cardboard pipe with tape and paper towels lol.
