I was wondering if an one had thought of making a rectangular barrel for a pneumatic that would shoot disks...pennies would be a cheap and easy ammo something like that.
And I would think they would be fairly accurate too.... just some food for thought...

The problem with a rectangular barrel is the low surface area available for the air to act on, as was discussed here.

However, there are other ways around the problem Wink

It would be cheap for the first shots, but after a period of years wouldnt it end up being quite an expensive gun?

cool paying from 100m distance Very Happy

but how to get a barrel that fits them exactly ?
and yes it would be expansive
and if you throw a piece of carton (try) then it doesn't fly in one line so wouldn't this happen to the penny ?
but just try to make a proto type so you can see what will happen
and you can still make lead slugs to have cheap ammo Wink
