SpudFiles

i guess this can fit under mini. well i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a spudgun that llooks or works like a handgun. we need em for this thing we are filming. once its done ill post it on here if anyone wants to see. by the way, we will be shooting parts of potatoes, not anything else.

you could combine a mini-coaxial with the trigger and hammer mechanism from a typical cap pistol and you're sailing

I assume you want a combustion?
I would gut an airsoft pistol (the crappy walmart kind) and use a piece of 1/2" pvc for a barrel. You could make a chamber to fit into the handle.

the thing, i hafta make like 10 or so of these so i want em to be cheap. maybe not that much. also if anyone has ideas on how to make a spudgun look like any type of gun that actually exists. i think ill need like 3 handguns, 2 cannons, and maybe like one that looks automatic

You might get lucky if you check ebay a lot.
Some times you can find cool airsoft stuff there.

The pics on that page don't work for me but it is a coaxial pistol, its awesome

go to nerfhaven.com click on forums and find mpcp

i wanna make these though, not buy em. and they still hafta look like spudguns

Just make piston valved guns and build a wooden shell from thin hardwood. You can make them very realistic.
Home Depot has wood in various thicknesses that you can make a cover for the guns from. Paint them black and you're set.

well we want to use combustion though......

Ive got a Mini post with a pill bottle combustion rigged up so that it fits in an airsoft pistol shell, you should check it out
