Ok, this isnt a pnuematic, but I dont know where to put it. The body is 1 1/4 inch PVC, Clothespin trigger, Spring Propulsion, and a 1 inch pvc piston with ghetto-lathed O-Ring grooves. The total legnth is 4 1/2 inches long. I can shoot a homemade net at a max of about 20 feet.

I also shoot TOYPEDO LITE UP BANDITS Into my pool.

Are you gonna go hunting for that Chupacabra as seen in the video?

Just kidding, but that's pretty cool. Did you just put this together or was there some planning?

Yeah it would be awsome, but I also like this one because it can be easily concealed, But I will probably make a big one when I get the money.

You spread out the net, then fold all the ballbearings into the center, then just put it in the barrel, I will get a video of how to fold up the net soon.

EDIT- Spraypaint doesnt come off skin too easy, I still have this blue stuff on from 2 days ago.

It may not be a better _ _ _ _ _ trap, but way more fun.

P.S. A little gasoline on a rag should get that blue paint off your hands.

Thanks Jrrdw, I will try that. I tried nail polish remover, which normally works for other paints, but suprisingly not this one.
