The entire idea about the toothpicks was that they were cheap and I could easily get a bunch of them. If I have to custom tailor each toothpick it defeats the purpose =(.

I'm going to try to find a copper one, if I can't find a copper one then maybe some sort of hose. If all else fails, I will drill a hole through a piece of wood.

Would a bit of paraffin wax stuck on to the back weigh enough?

I was thinking about making a pneumatic with a barrel small enough for toothpicks, but my concern is the toothpicks not going straight because they are so light and small. Would the air turbulence just make the toothpicks go in random directions?

I want to make a barrel sealing valve but the only tutorial I can find is the one on BCVids for making a chamber sealing valve and even then he skips out on a lot of the details.

Sadly I don't have 50 meters available to me.

I was considering a QEV. Although I do enjoy manually creating and modifying things, I find premade things tend to malfunction less and last longer. I don't have that much room to shoot stuff. I live in a golf course area which gives me space to shoot stuff far but it is suburban and I try to keep i...

Modifications to the valve or barrel are too dificult now that my brace is cemented to the barrel. I may extend my barrel with a coupler and length of pipe. I have this idea of getting a 3 inch pipe, capping it off on both ends, and connecting it to my chamber with another ball valve, so I can just ...

This is my first real attempt at a spud launcher. I have made several minis, some ( very dangerously ) out of non rated pipes and soda bottles, and one sad attempt at a PVC one, all combustion. This is my first real attempt at making one thats nice and safe, also my first pneumatic. It uses a 3/4" s...
