Do some more research, this site is full of useful information
how far does it shoot?
Miles! But you can't really aim it, so it's strictly for across-the-room use only.
and how much did it all cost?
Less than 20 of your finest American dollars
MrCrowley: Edited for content (shooting animals)
No, please don't use it shoot animals.

can you make a video how to make this awesome pengun?
how the hell does it shoot and do the piston let air throw to the body but not to the barrel?

No, I've already explained it well enough
ad nauseum, if you can't make it from the current instructions then you're probably not responsible enough to use it properly. Still, if you have any specific questions other than asking for step-by-step building instructions, feel free to ask.

What more do you need?
It's a piece of metal and a BB...can you not comprehend that? A piston can be made from anything, nothing has to be made to exact specifications, so use your head, that i'm pretty sure you were born with, and just experiment with anything that you would think would make a suitable piston.
If you can't think of anything to use for a piston, you obviously don't know enough to start building a piston. Go to Home Depot, and I guarantee you there will be 10,000 things you could make a piston from.
Go do some more research.
