somebody has probably already thort of this and posted it already but im gonna do it anyway.

if you have a barrel of 10mm copper pipe then grinding down golf tees slightly so that fit would be kool and towards the top of the tee wrapping tape round it so it stays straight in the barrel and adds a bit of weight
you guys probably think im a bit od a retard for not actually trying it before i posted it it but, meh

let me know what you think

I've used em. they work great as long as you give em a few yards to stabilize.

Indeed, theyre crap at short range. They'll just hit it side on.

Maybe put some nuts on the front for weight? ( I know jsr, don't bother)

That amused me greatly :D

But then it would effect penetration of the target. *Attempts to control ones self*

penetration may be hindered, but impact energy would be through the roof :D
