I made this particular Combustion mini for a friend who worked in an office building . any ways his story went as followed, "man i really could really use something to get back at Fredrick"(<-- not real name) hes been throwing freaking tacks and sh*t at me all week" "so i said ill build you a mini spud gun" and thus i did.
so this is the second smallest mini I've made to date. Its man chamber is the tiniest pill bottle i could find barrel is an ultra small bic pen tube its main source of ignition a piezo igniter. Its source of fuel at the moment is one of 3 things.



1. butane
2. Bincalo Breath spray
3. bugspray

But i will add a on board butane filler.

He said that he got up to 40-50 feet with the cannon and tht he hits his "buddy" with modified tacks.

any ways here are the pictures i figure you guys might like to see.

yes this may look ghetto and thats cuz it is i only had meer pocket change to make this mini.....

"Stop being an attention *whore*" :lol:
I mean nothing of it. :roll:

Anyways, nice mini, how reliable is it? I can never get the right fuel amount in. What are you gona use? a sirynge (sp) filled with propane? On board butane - you could just use the tank from the lighter you disected.

EDit- NOT you speciallist. I am refering to a prior thread of mine that mark commented on. Sry for misunderstanding.

no hes not calling you a attention whore he was calling me one, because i called him be cause he had like 5 pages of feedback and he wanted more lol and i did not mean an insult by it. any way he uses a lighter with a hose connected for butane it quite a ingenious method
