Looks nice, a little too much tape though.
And do you have anything besides a cell phone to take pics?

Did I ask for critism no, do I give a shit no, its not a self phone its a bad digital camera, only 4 mega pixel plus the flash made it relfect so I had to turn it off so it made it blurry (dont ask how too long).
If I dont have the tape on it makes the plastic warp, I constantly had to remake with a new bottle so I tried taping it and it fixed the warping problem.

Yeah, I just threw it together and it works awesome for inside the house, I'm only 13 so don't expect me to be making hybrids, I spent a lot on my metered MAPP (with stun gun ignition) so all I wanted was something simple.

wow, you dont need to blow up. i just personally believe that you used a little more tape than what was necesary. and i thought it was cell phone pics, because blurriness is a "disorder" that cell phone users have. sheesh... i didnt mean your gun was bad, it looks preety cool infact, but i guess you just cant understand that...

When useing digital camra's with the flash off, try useing the timer function, that way you can hold it really still, thats why they turned out blury, thats what i do, i use the timer, mine gives 4 beeps and on the 3rd i know it's time to hold my breath if i want a crisp pic.
Mini's are cool i think, i've seen a bunch of them come through here in the past year. No offence to the other builders but sgort has build the best that i've seen so far. A q-tip through carboard, i bet thats a hell of a woop sound when it hits! Maby build darts for it, seems to be good ammo for mini's.
P.S. -- On a side note, edit out the killing people part. That kinda talk isn't tolarated around here. Pssst, read the forum rules.
