Okay, that sounds simple enough. I built this gun yesterday and I am on vacation (thats how bored I am). So I dont have that many tools to assist me, but I know I have a triangular file at home (used to be into miniature figures) thanks for all the feedback. I will try and get a video of it shooting and hopefully I can do some damage :twisted:

That's the little plastic bits left behind from the injection mold process. Here's a pic borrowed from the Burnt Latke site.
