Just a simple blowgun pistol, it shoots 6mm bbs and nails wrapped in tape. I use it at 140-200 psi. [youtube][/youtube]

Not bad. Did your pump really get that high that fast? Or was that clip sped up?

It is speed up, but it doesnt take too long in real speed either.

Ok, well it seems like it would work. Where did you get the blowgun? I have been looking for one of those that I dont have to buy off the internet...

I know its a review, but I could not find it on the Lowes website...

That link just goes to Lowes.com. I haven't been able to find pistol grip blowguns at Lowes or the Depot, but I think Harbor Freight has them, if you have one around you. Or you can buy it online...

And this one says you can only buy it in the store. I like it better.

Great prices because their stuff isn't high quality :D

Haha, I dont mind if its high quality or not, because if it breaks, I usually fix it...

Fo sho'. Bought a set of needle files. Three promptly broke. But hey, they were 2 bucks and some change for 12. :lol:

Harbor freight is a good store for finding out if you like a certain type of tool or not. Buy it cheap, let it break, then go buy a higher quality version when you find that you miss it.

Pistol looks good. What band is that playing in your video?
(I would have gone with Burzum's "Dunkelheit" as a soundtrack)

You may want to try to charge it with a shock pump, I can get to 400 psi easily. does it have any leaks? you may want to check out my pistols, I used blowgun too, but better made :)
