Hi i want to show my older pneumatic spudgun.

Earlier it was a manual side loader. "It should" become but never work because the tolerance and small thinks had get busted my brain :wink:

In addition no machines to build my inspirations. It put the loader prototype in the garbage and decited to build from the rest a "one shoot" spudgun.

Here are some pictures the basis looks like aluminium but it is magnesium. :D I know there is much tape and it looks not completion.

Anytime i will construct it again rational and correct.
The power is very good and the selfmade ammunition flies very good.


So far

Those are really cool bullet-like ammunitions. What are they made of? How do you make them?

I use aluminium pipe pieces and a brass sharpen.
The two parts get so heavy in each other that you haven´t to need glue or something. But you have to turn the surface clean because after pressing togheter the diameter get larger.

So realistic, yet so powerful. That is really nifty, I'll see if I can't make a few myself and test them out.
