Okay, so this is just a weakly assembled version of this Instructable I made.

Go there and look at it for inspiration.

Also, this Airsoft Gun I made can over-penetrate up to a foot of loosely packed snow at medium range. If your fort got totally sprayed by an attacking force, they could just patiently blast the thing apart with fully automatic weapons, or a well-thrown stick.

hope this stuff helps.

3. My instructable was posted before yours.
4. I used to like you and your 'ibles until I just found out you are a jerk.

thats true, yours came first. i wasnt really intending to be mean, just pointing out that the fort isnt that protective. if it is fun, then awesome, fun above all else!

If you weren't trying to be mean then you would not have commented that.

Looks like I'll have to heat my BB's...

put a mini-heater in your mag and then fill the mag and turn on heater, it heats the bbs wait about five minutes and it will actually get hot enough to melt this piece of crap thing 2 calls a "snow fort"

Apr 21, 2011. 8:15 PMthing 2 (author) says:

Go have fun messing your gun up, you'll never have as much fun as me and my dad did.

Apr 9, 2011. 12:32 AMthing 2 (author) says:

You might melt the snow but in the process you would probably melt the bb's.

Very true

True. My contest entry is in a bad way because of a recent warm snap. However, temps are dropping as I write this, so I should be able to make some more.
