This just a small q-tip shooter i made a while back, breech loaded and made from Acrylic ( Don't drop it! ) I can shoot a q-tip with a metal tip ( bit of bicycle spoke) about 10 metres, although it has to fit "just right" to do so.
The chambers capacity is only 22ml and it only takes like 1/2 a cc of butane to fire. The barrel is around 350mm long.
It looks uber cool at night when you get to see the flame on all it's glory
Hope you likey.

Nice gun, you just keep making some really nice minis, keep up the good work!

Whoa, very nice, but I think you may get better performance with a shorter barrel, it looks a bit too long for that chamber.

I will, with passion!!
Hey insomniac, how much do you want me to cut off the barrel?
I'll do it just for you

Im guessing about half. Or make a bigger chamber. I love shooting minis with clear barrels at night, it looks like a neon tube

I think the barrel is probably about right for the chamber size, actually. Maybe cutting off about 1/4 might help, but half might reduce prefomance.
Oh, and it looks goood:):)

Awwww... nicely machined there, honestly, your facilities are going to be the envy of this forum

loverlie i remember making acyrilic stuff in grade 8. i should have machined myself some barrels.

Acrylic barrel or "Tube" as it is called can be purchased online i believe, don't ask me where though as i would not have a clue

Go to usplastic.com!! TADA! I would recommend getting polycarbonate instead of acrylic, because it is much stronger and can easily survive shock. IE getting dropped. And yes, it is just as easy to machine.

EDIT: Just to make things easier for you... polycarbonate tube

Wow. Acrylic is pretty expensive to use as a building material. Use it for hybrid rocket motors, not spudguns.

Haha sweet man. Me likey very much. Keep up the good work

Nice and clean! 8)
