Ahhh yeah, you cant get them at mitchels camping stores, well some of them, expensive though like $5 AUD for 300, you can do what i did, and at christmas, (last christmas) i brought 2 pakcs of blue 6mm christmas decoration beeds, each pack ha approxemently 3000 in each i think... so i got like 6000 for $4 bucks, i got them from the warehouse store. there not usally in at this time of the yer. and because they are on string, may take a while, but do it when you need them, you cut them up. Or you can possibly try somewhere like ebay, but then postage an handeling, and shipping alone is like $30 i found out so yeah, good luck.

Hey i just realised, moderators, does this count as a cannon? i didnt realise that till one second ago. i only put it in this category because its related to BB gun's. Sorry if its not, notify me straight away and i will delete it.

Can't wait to see the vortex gun with a better air source than blowing into it. :D Even Mr. Russ' bottle as a chamber would make it shoot a ton harder, and with 100 psi it would shred the box the paper's in front of.

Yeah they are good fun, you can probebly shoot people with ou it hurting, and Mr.Russ and i have allmost both completed our vortex guns, and yes i am a bit younger, but is their any age limit on this site? making a longer barrel wont do much good either, we have tried it.
