Step 4Making the handle and clip

making the handle and clip
now you have only one clothespin left. cut one half of the clothespin into two parts. then file and sand it down until it curves a little. Then glue it in the center on the bottom(like the picture shows). then take the other full part of the clothespin and cut it in half like the other one. glue the two parts together and attach to the gun

You know that match? Light it on fire then shoot. It's pretty damn awesome :D. Also, take a needle, stat it THROUGH a match, so it sticks out in the back and front. Then light the match on fire and shoot-results? A very hot needle with a burning match around it melting through Styrofoam.

Why not just bend it a little bit so it's easier to cock?

To bad it takes to much time or I would have made one. If you could make sum and sell them. That would be nice.

I made a bunch and painted them camo. They don't take all that long to build. Plus the camo mine took about 40 minutes each. I am also selling them. Great instructable btw.

I agree w/ crazyman1221 I think that after all the hard and long work I put in making it I would break it or loose it ( due to it being so small ) but if you have skill and time "power to ya!!"
