This is kind of a long-shot idea, but you could use the bottle for an ammo mold. You could pour whatever substance (Bondo) into the bottle and let it set. Once it had set and was ready, just break the glass and remove the ammo. Since you said you can't use the bottle themselves as ammo, you probably...

I work at the airport in my small town and on my free time, I will put AVGAS (100 Octane gasoline) into old spray bottles. If I can adjust the nozzle to spray a nice mist, it works perfectly. It leaves a small puddle, but by the time the combustion occurs it has all burned. No worries about menlting...

Good point. The ignitor was easy to remove, but I'll see about the other stuff. I just still can't believe that I didn't pay attention to the pipe. That could have been pretty bad...and I have been at this for a few years so I should know better.

Stupid mistake

So I feel like a real idiot now. I went to ACE to pick up the necessary PVC for my newest gun the other day on my lunch break. I was kinda in a hurry and so was the guy helping me. Apparently, he cut me some cell-core PVC, but I didn't realize it. Nor did I realize it until moments ago after I had c...

I have had my liscense for 4 years now, and have gone through just about as many vehicles (all due to accidents). Only one accident was my fault though. I started out with a 96' Chevy S-10 and put about 5-8 grand into it before it was totaled. Then I drove the old 89' Chevy Suburban around for a yea...

I already got bored with my original mini, so I thought I would change things up a bit. I have so many un-used parts from the long neck lighters, I thought I would incorporate those into my mini. The butane reseviors caught my attention. Rather than use the butane for propellant, I wired up a small ...

I ditched the Aquafina bottle idea for the time being. I decided to start with the basic pill bottle. I am very satisfied! It fires the first time, every time with one spray of my old Tommy cologne. I still plan on working out the bugs on the 20oz bottle though.

I will use anything I can fit in the barrell. Anything from the Q-tips to apple pieces to small nails (not recommended for indoors!)

EDIT: I just shot a few Airsoft BB's (6mm) and they work well!

I like the combustions. Granted I am a pyromaniac (or thats what most people would refer to me as) so I am partial to flames and explosions. Also, that is all I have ever built so I am biased. And as for the dispute over safety between pneumo/combustion, I think it all boils down to the shooter and ...

I got mine working! It is so much fun. However, the bottle (due to it being lightweight plastic I assume) gets quite warm and will begin to warp after only a few shots. But that is easily replaced.
