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?

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.

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)
