My First Mini

And what a mini it is. I took the idea from the Office Gun of Destruction thread. Basically got myself a pill bottle and a bic pen, drilled a hole in the bottom of the bottle for the pen tube barrel and marine epoxyed the barrel in. I took my old piezo bbq ignitor from my CSG24-EI and drilled 2 5/64" holes, inserted the wires, and epoxyed them in as well. I used the old pen assembly (ie tip, collar, and ink tube) as a projectile, leaving about 1/8" between the muzzle and edge of the collar so as not to pack it in too tight, with about a 5 second burst of butane from my bic lighter this thing embedded itself about 1/4" into my wall. Flies about 50' or so. I'm going to give it to one of my retard buddies and tell him this is the only spud gun I trust him with as he has been know to muzzle sweep with mine. :roll:

Update: I found a bunch of bolts for my old crossbow, and after taking the tail off of one of them I found that it fits perfectly in the barrel of the mini. I just shot this at my wall and the bolt penetrated probably 90% of the way through the wall. ;)

Thanks it's just a way to pass time sitting around. It's kind of fun to sit there with your buddies and shoot spit wads out of em
