Your not planning on making a firearm are you? What the heck are those anyway?

I think he's thinking of some kind of air powered BB revolver or something, but I'm not too sure...

Ohh… I’ll bet that’s a speed loader for a .22cal revolver.

those are .22 blanks but there for a ramset..
see thats the gun those disks go to.. see the disk in the back of the gun.. the guns are like 200-400 bucks an i dont need one anyway..
no not a fire arm i just want to make a cheap little system to fire of these blanks like on 4th july or whatever
edit: those guns shoot nails into concrete and steel plates and stuff

Of course you can get them on a plane, duck tape them to your head than put on a wig, when you go through the metal detector just tell them you got a plate in your head! No don’t because if you get caught you’ll be in big trouble, and I’d probably end up in the same predicament.

Why don't you just ship it to were your going? Oh you could just hide them in you ass and claim you have a bullet lodged in one of your butt cheeks when the metal detector goes off.

dough I didnt think of a ram set you can always buy them at the store, but how the heck can you build a revolver, one of the reasons it took a while for the revolver to be invented is because machining technology wasn't good enough. how good are you at machining (metal)? if you're good you could make a pepper box, if your an extremly good expert then you could make a revlolver. if not than you got to have a prebuilt gun or ramset gun[/i]

It probably classifies as "solid propellants" and thus can't be discussed here, but I'm just thinking, if those .22 blank cartridges can drive a nail into concrete, they could probably propel a marble quite well

Building a single-shot, .22-blank cartridge-fed marble gun wouldn't be that hard. Chamber that takes a cartridge in the back, barrel, hammer/trigger setup... done.
Peace,
Pete Zara.

well i dont think it works quite the way you think it does... the blanks itself dosnt propel the nail the blank goes off pushing a heavy steel piston against the nail "ramming" it into the concrete or steel.
i think thats about how it works and it be hard to make one to shoot a marble with somthing strong enough to stop the piston thats launching the marble be made out of pvc... and i dont feel like nor do i know how to machine anything to do that out of metal...
