There's a problem. What if you need to fire 91-269 degrees when up is 0 or 360 (for the simple-minded, down). The pellet just rolls out of the barrel.

First of all, I know this is an old post but i have an answer. simply use steel bbs, and attach a magnet to the barrel (assuming your adding a breach to an altoids blowgun, inside the container, on the opposite side of the ammo.) make sure the magnet is strong enough to hold a bb through the barrel, but weak enough to be able to blow it loose. the latter shouldn't be difficult if the barrel is snug enough around the bb. I'm sure I don't have to say this, but using steel bbs makes this setup much more dangerous, and should never be fired at a person (or pet). This would be great for keeping stray animals out of the yard, or hunting pigeons! :)

u can make an airsoft blowgun by just using an old airsoft barrel, i used to have a spring m16, broken so we used leftover parts i would say w/ that barrel about 180fps... not that high probably lower but it still stings... last resort weapon...hehe

you could probably try one of the pencil grips to cover the breech hole

lol this works much better then I thought it would. I simply took the barrel from my old AEG and covered the hole on the top with a peice of highlighter cap, stuck a BB into the end, aimed at my knee, blew as hard as I could, and my knee nearly turned purple.

I made a frickin' AWESOME version where it can be semi- or automatic. It stills shoots airsoft BB's. Mine can carry up to 15 BB's in its magazine. Will post instructable soon to give you more detail!
