Made a 1.5" barrel for Nerf Ballistic Balls. Hope to get a video up later. They are a real tight fit so the gun is loud as hell. But they don't hit with a lot of force so no impressive damage.

Here is a pic with the 1.5" barrel attached:

And a video of it shooting a nerf ball. Someone asked how I hold the gun. Hopefully the video explains:

(yes, I'm aware that it's 26 degrees outside and there's snow on the ground!)
