This is my newest Gun. It is about a foot and a half long, and it shoots anything that can fit in side the 7mm barrel.

It is practically silent and can do good damage with a nail.

You remind me of someone I see on these forums, CkMan...
He has a lot of guns, but never anything too special. This is a nice gun, but in the future you might want to put more effort into the design and ascetics of your next gun.

Edit: I probably would not go with 'Roman Candle', because that is the name a firework. And the title could be misunderstood...

Its a cool gun and looks fun to shoot. I like the bolt action and I like the compact size. Do you have any ideas for future models in mind? It looks like you have knowledge and ability to make something more extreme!!

Yes, he does remind me of CK. Come to think of it, he hasn't posted a gun in a while? I hope (sincerely) he wasn't claimed by one of his cannons. Plastic bottles and hybrid mixes don't go well together.

Still, nice, compact and fun. Nothing wrong with that, and it's better you can use what you have available! Good job.

I doubt CK could build anything capable of claiming a human life, so I'm sure hes just lost interest.

Well I must say this is much better than anything he ever posted, although your others have been somewhat questionable.

On the note of CK, a while ago I bought pink duct tape with the intention of making a CK parody gun, but I forgot about it once he left, maybe I'll get back on that...

No need to be mean to the kid, he was like 11 years old or something. I am sure he had just as much fun with his creations as I do with mine.
I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.

Well if you're going to split hairs, then almost anything could kill someone, but that's for another discussion on another forum.

Point is, he's probably safe, just fickle.
