dream mini

what is your dream mini spud gun? Im talking the ones that are like soda bottle chamber sized and smaller. I want to hear what you wanna see, then I would like to try and build them. I am making a double barreled shot gun of sorts using 6 tic tac packs and the barrels are gonna be 2 metal tubes from long nosed lighters, which are also gonna provide fuel and spark.
Im sure if I dont build your Idea, Urban Ninja or some one else, or you will build it. so lets hear your ideas

that one is pretty sweet, Ill get around to building myself one of those, I am pretty much obsessed with mini's, I think they are more fun than full sized spud guns

I agree with cardinals. Minis are awesome. More places to shoot and my parents dont freak when they see me and my friends sneaking out like an 8 foot bazooka. By the way cardinals me and you are like thinking on the same wave length. Last night I converted an old mini into a double barrel shotgun. It uses potato in both barrells as wadding then i put 5-7 dried peas in each barrel. Click booooom. Works great. Good for shooting cans on the balcony. Leaves em in halh after 1 shot! You should build it, maybe not tic tacs but definately double barreled shotgun. A LOT OF FUN!!

i think minis are realy cool and i'd love to start makin more of them but i can never seem to get the right fuel air mix and suggestions as to what to use as fuel and how to measure it?

Use a disposable lighter. They work amazingly with a tube in the nozzle for inserting into the chamber. What do you use as a chamber?

pill bottles but i have tried with a small coke bottle.

Yeah well try the lighters but if not just 1 squirt of cologne should do, its more messy but should fire first time.

ive built a mini out of a water bottle but that didnt work out too well. I have a mini now that uses a pespi bottle as the chamer pretty slick gun and its clear !

Clear ones are cool. You can see the explosion

! Did you use a normal piezo for yours or a bbg clicker. I found it hard to ignite with a lighter piezo?

Sorry, but heres a pic of that shotgun I mentioned. It is clear at the end to see if it is sparking and to see explosions 8) . It still needs woodstaining, sights and the barrell is pointing up. All in good time. Do you think the stock would look better black or wood stained?

i made a mini last night out of a tiny water gun i took every thing out of it and put a sparker in i can get it to fire half of the time when i use the light gas

Urban Ninja I used a lighter piezo and its not connected so i hold the cannon in one hand and click with the other.

i made one out of a pill bottle and used a disasembled lighter but the lighter fuel works 1/3 of the time...........damn those thing are picky

cardinals08 · Wed Jan 25, 2006 6:39 pm

urban ninja, looks good, I would make it black, and paint the white cap black, and find some kind of tint and tint the plastic so you can still see the spark and explosion, but enough so it looks almost black

cover it in gold leef (sp). it's gold flatend to a few atoms thick and should stick to the gun. it's what im gona do when i can get my hands on some 8)
