I assumed u people would be serious, but i my self love joking so its ok. Ill borrow my moms 2000$ digital camara, i guess that will do... I am really proud of this gun, but i still need to install my bolt action... Its also an ugly gun cause i always alternate my colors, copper, alli, copper alli...
P.S. I think i have found my self a new hobbie, it involves lead and fire and things i do not need!
Oh and thank you for all your replies

I have done that many times, and I can assure you, I have never exploded in the process. Although, given it's me, I probably would have managed to survive it anyway.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I could easily have said "...if it boarded a double decker bus wearing a rucksack"...
You know, that would a good user name if you need a new one: jackspoliticallyincorrectsenseofhumour
Bit of an unwieldy acronym though.
@John bunsenburner: If you wanted serious, you joined the wrong forum!
And you will find spudgunning addictive. It's rule 84c of the internet, or so I'm told.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Well I guess I prefer this to my high school prinipal(he is an ***), so I am fine. Just woke up, I will write 2 or 3 essays before I get to my gun again.
P.S. I heard people make shot gun shot by pouring molten lead into a coolent, i have found it makes nice little shapes round on one end pointy at another...Do you Spud gunneres think it works as ammo? I am guessing it would be like a little tiny lead darts(they are maybe 1-2cm long)...

You are referring to "drop shot". Done "properly", it is very nearly perfectly spherical.
Drop shot is made using a "shot tower", see the link below.

Drop shot should work, meaning it WILL leave the muzzle, but it will not be stable, and individual trajectories would be a guessing game.
If you are planning a scatter gun, then you have no problem.
For reasonably accurate shooting with single projectiles, you need to look elsewhere for ammo.(Unless you happen to have a REALLY tall shot tower.

OK one last question: I have three valves at home
1.ball valve, with spring operation
2.The valve i mentioned at the beginning
3. A nice little cheep blow gun for dusting things
Which one should i choose? in terms of opening time, accuracy, looks ect. I could of coarse build a socond gun, i have eanoth spare parts, so please give me like an order of best to worst(1.best)

Why not use the hammer valve? (That would be #2)
My .02
Ball valve:
Slow opening time no matter what you do.(a matter of opinion)
Spring operation is nearly as complex as the hammer valve.
Hammer valve:
The best option you presented.
The most complex option you presented.
Blow gun:
These have two purposes in the "spudding world", as the main valve in a bbmg, and to pilot a real valve.
It's your gun, you decide.
But ask yourself, "How dedicated am I to the project?", before you start.
The answer will guide you to the right decision.
