You could make a hole in the pen where the stick thing hits the BB. (at the top), and attach a tube from another mechanical pencil for a clip. When you hit the 1 BB another falls in its place. Eh?

Yes, a magnet would definitely hold the BB in, but would also hold the BB back. BB is hort for "Ball Bearing". Funny thing is I didn't realized this was what it stood for until a few years ago.

maybe an electro magnet could work because you could just kill the power to shoot.
