Alright, i know this is an easy gun to make, but when i first started making one(this was my first gun), i had no idea what to do. so here is a diagram of all the parts needed to make one of these little guns. remember, always use a bottle with a locking cap(the ones from the pharmacy work best) and BE CAREFUL!

if you have any other questions, just ask.

thats exactly how i built mine, but i kept the sparker inside the lighter case so that i wouldn't brake it(i learned that from experience, lol)

yes, the spray deoderant works well. when searching for a fuel, look for the words "WARNING:Flammable, Keep away from open flame, Store at under 120 degrees." or look for flammanle ingredients in the top five ingredients such as propane, butane, and alchohal. Good luck with your combustion gun!!!

Man, I built my first mini today and that thing is a blast. I got bored of shooting airsoft bbs so I got a new cap and locked it on and click the bbq thing and the cap shot of with a real loud bang.

if you make them right, and they dont blow the cap off, it is actually very quiet, like a hiss of air, but if the back blows off, well i already told you...

I made a pill bottle gun not to long ago,i had my barrel in the cap cause it was thicker (not sure if it really matters) anyway it worked nice for a while then i mad a spit ball that fit to tight in the barrel and the damn cap exploded into about 10 peices,i was in my living room at the time and it made mine,my dad's and my brothers ears ring.

Mini's are always fun, ive got about 5 laying around my room :lol:. One of them is made from 1.5" ABS(8" long) and an old 3/4" snorkel tube for a barrel(14" long) I added a dollar store gun handgrip to it for effect, and the sparker is placed where the trigger would be. When I shoot it there is a very loud bang a lot of recoil and the projectile goes about 50+metres :D
