this site is FULL of guns you can build, if you need plans you shouldnt be building them, look around, gain some knowledge, and make your own plans

And please, don't mistake our responses as being sarcastic. The only way to help someone is to teach them to help themselves.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

ok, here is the thing, a small pill bottle combustion is going to suck, not powerful at all, and a bitch to fire. a pnuematic would be fine, a small one can me made from a small chamber, a blowgun and a small barrel, thats not bad, but costs money. if u can stand the cost compared to a pill bottle gun, then u can move on to a piston or diaphram coaxial gun, which takes even more material and skill, but they are powerful.

we wont give u plans, but take a few looks at a pic and figure out how it looks, and play around with the dimensions. search around for ratios and explainations, then make your own plan, then make it.

I'd suggest making a small 1.5 or 1.25" coaxial pneumatic like sladtosser mentioned, probalby with a 1/2" barrel. Diaphragms are simple and easy to use, and depending on how much your pilot for the diaphragm or piston costs, it wouldn't be over say $15. There is a similar gun used for shooting marbles here

For some reason a small coaxial diaphragm paintball or marble with a blowgun as a pilot valve has always appealed to me. I haven't made one though, surprising seeing that it would cost less than $15 as noname said. Many people have made this type of gun and they are surprisingly powerful for their size.

Frogy, im rather dulled by it now seeing as its the new "hip" thing to do here on spudfiles. If you people just used the thing at the top "There are: XX new messages" we would never have this problem...

I always post in places where there are new messages... It's stupid and boring to bring up an ancient post because the people who asked the question of posted it normally aren't around anymore for some reason...

Notice I posted after 2 new messages
