This is my mini that I made out of some clear plastic tubing, a lighter nose with an airsoft barrel sleved inside, a peizo from the same lighter, and a threaded cap that fits the pipe.
My tweaked lighter fueling system, once again from the same lighter, is pictured in the first photo. |

Thanks!
Also, for a different and cheap mini fuel, I found that swabbing the inside with rubbing alcohol will fire it quite well. |

| Yes, the tubing helps to not waste butane. |

| Say this is a good looking mini, the muzzle break really stands out. It kinda reminds me of one of those old rotory clip machine guns out of a gangster movie. I'de be plinking marshmello's off of straight pins sticking up through cardboard or something. Good one! |

| Sadly the clear tubing that I made the chamber out of begins to crack after a few shots, so I will have to find some clear 3/8" pvc to make a stronger one.*sniffles* Anyways, does anybody know other cheap clear materials that could be used for an application like this? |

umm, use some large diameter pressure hose if you have some laying around.
and is that clear pen circular on the outside with a hexagon on the inside?
if it is, i used the same kind of pen for a bb barrel, but it cracked, too. i just like it cause i could see the flames i my mini, it is fun to show of your flaming guns! |

Um, that is some 3/8 inch tubing of an unknown material (it smells like tar when cut), not a pen tube.
And yes, I might have some clear hose in my shed, but I couldn't find it last time I looked in there. I could get some next time I go to the hardware store. |

| I just stick the lighter in the back of the gun, fuel it, pull it out, and cap it. No risk of lighter fire. |
