DIY Peg Mini-Gun

Make a very simple mini-gun from a regular clothes-peg. You can do it in few minutes. The gun is quite powerful and can shoot up to 5 meters. Be careful and don't shoot into living creatures.

Step 1: What you need

- clothes-peg
- knife
- file (not necessary)
- thread
- toothpick (as a bullet)

how does it work

[Gigodorias]

Yes. It is possible to make one of these that shoots out of the pointed end instead of the blunt end. Just reverse the firing mechanism. I don't really know if it is more efficient. Personally I would be fine with either one. I would probably want a plastic/rubber grip around the whole thing, except for the mechanism. Make it look like a REAL ballistic knife by painting the thing a dark grayish tone, adding a more concealed/realistic look.

I found that if you extend the peg by cutting it a little longer you a slight bit more of power and range. due to the fact that your trigger (spring) has a little bit more time to speed up propelling your projectiles (tooth pick or matchs). you can always try this and experiment with it

where do you get the files

i'm soooo making this later!!!

[yoshi1]

Dam! I stuffed up, instead of putting the gunpoint where it is in the pictures i put it the opposite.
Will it still work and how do you put the spring on?

I agree with Hel_Guardian if its a different design put it up

"gun point" is chamber
"bullet" is projectile.

Very nice ! There is no piece of fruit out of the danger zone in my house now . Also, an extra notch at the end and you have a sort of safety; not that it's deadly, but it is irresistable!

[toolman883]

[Thelonelysandwitch]

[killerwithknex123]

can't find a clothespin :[. ill get some from my big sis. 23years old she is. it looks like a cool gun though tell me if it is a good gun. I think I already have a mod for it lol!

[paulm]

damn hard to make =/

unless the wire from the spring pushes the projectile, it wont shoot; just jam.
