<div align="center">DUCK NIGHT

Previously I had made the Mini Duck, but then went and bought a 59 cent roll of electrical and had at it.

It's still really messy because of my rushed job and the annoying wires :oops:

Cool sight. I like it. It is like a black ops camo rifle. Sry, that was a bad description, but i like it. Real nice handle. How far does it shoot?

I take the eraser out of pencils, and stick a needle through it, It fits perfectly in the barrel. Be careful with them, I had one bounce off of my wall and it stuck in my hand pretty deep. I can pierce full soda cans from decent distances( I shake them up first) and it sends streams of soda. pretty fun

You can always stick a small feather in the back of the earaser to act as a stabilizer, there will be less chance of missing your target. It is also wise to where safety gear, especially when your firing sharp objects.
