i was shooting the good old red ryder that was hanging up on my wall from ages ago at some cans in my room, when i saw my moms sewing pins, these Image the larger ones in that picture, the yellow, fit exactly perfect into a .177 caliber barrel, and with a red ryder that shoots a bb at about 280fps, put the whole needle through my wall from across the room ( 1 in. drywall) im sure that this has been posted before, but iwas astounded that something so simple actually worked well hahaha

Most drywall is either 1/2"' or 5/8", I have never seen 1" drywall.

yeah i have those too jack but they cost much more than the bobby pins, and the drywall might be thinner, i just figured 1in. because it is pretty thick i thought
