Hi,
What i did was first i created a slit, then fit a small filer in there just file away the plastic, once the slot is just big enough, id use the knife again to shave the edges.

i just realized, that could double as an auto loader magazine :P

so you pull down the lever all the way and lock it, fill it up with bb's, attach the top part to a compatible gun's feeder, unlock it, and that way it can auto reload a gun. ofc. such gun would require quite some work to make, but it is possible and it would be quite epic (i guess a type of bolt action could be modified to work with this. all you'd have to do is make sure that where the BB's enter from there is a small "trap" kinda thingi which would stop the BB from sliding right out, and the spring would have to have a cover so that as you pull on the bolt a BB doesn't get stuck in the spring, thats about all, and it should work)

Except I glued a screw to the inktube instead of an ink tube.

the theory behind this gun is good, but i epic failed and wasted 4 pens because i couldnt get the firing mechanism/charging handle attatched correctly, and the springs slipped out of place all the time. it never actually shot any of my ammo.

 omg... the "charge" mech. is simple yet soo cool. awesome. I'm gonna try to make this thing.. best pen gun design ive found...
