I found a few older peice of pvc. But they were really small, like .25 inches. Anyway, I cut about 1 inch off and put a brass cap on it (looks like a brass ball with threaded hole in the center. It looked cool and was heavy, but would never fit in a 1.5 inch barrell. So I found a small reducer, and a end cap(had a hole in it for some reason). the reducer held the bullet pretty snug. The pvc peice with the brass on it, would fit snug into that hole and looked like a bullet.
When I fired it, the brass and pipe would fly through the target if it could and the casing would bounce back a few inches. It works really well and pretty aireodinamic (spelled wrong im sure.)
I shot it through a wooden well that sits in my moms front yard. Yes, she was pissed.

- I just screwed the pvc into the brass by turning it in the hole and the threads cut into it.
Then I just put the bullet in the casing, fits snug and fired well, doesnt come apart until a target is struck.

Calling it aerodynamic might be a misnomer... the large flat end will have lots of sucking turbulance behind it.

It doesnt have much drag and fys straight actually. It could shoot faster if there werent that hole, but it doesnt go off course considerably, and I have no problems sending it to a target. Im aware its flawed, but not as much as it seems. Only downfall it its head weight, gets pulled down after about 100-150 feet or so. And when it hits the ground, it shoots up a dust cloud.
