Its not glued, I just used a 1/8" pipe nipple and drilled and tapped a whole. and atm I don't have paint but I am considering it. Black of course.


And I did a little bushing modification so its completely flush.

Well, that actually sounds liek a good idea, I might get a long nose lighter and take the gas tank out of it. Maybe make have a magazine style reload of the gas.

i just thought of making and silencer for the gun, theres a pic

the silencer use 2coke bottle caps with some cotton in it, (the barrel), in my case pen tube would have some 4or 6 holes. would that silence the gun?
ill think ill try to make one.

Butane is a great fuel, if you live in Australia try to get your hands on some Gasmate. Bunnings should stock it in their bbq section. Just use a lid from a lynx or other aerosole can and there you go :).
