made this and moded it. ill post my pics. love this thing. Powerful and durable. My moded gun looks incredibly sleek and i have made ammo clips. I'll make an ible for the ammo clips later. thx for the idea.

I made more like an ammo holder, but your idea's better. I also moded my gun for sharpening the skewers if it gets too dull.

Nice. By ammo clip i meant moreof a holder but it holds six skewers and they stick out of the front like bayonetts. Also, I now made metal skewers out of metal coathangers and they are much moe powerful but dont travel as far.

how do you get the 'skewer' to shoot more than 50 feet, or just 40 feet. Mine only goes 30 feet.
