shotgun conversion for pneumatic weapons

I had the idea that it was a waste of energy to expend a full charge of air upon a single target, and this project is my end result.

This instructable is instructions on hw to manufactrue ammunition for a 1/2" PVC weapon using airsoft BBs as the shot.

Enjoy, and remember that whatever you do or hurt with this ammo is your own problem.

Step 1 Parts list

8.5*11 paper
tape
scissors
tissue paper
LOTS of airsoft BBs
Nerf bullet or AA battery

(I used the battery for shape, since I don't have nerfs handy)

Pretty cool. 4.5*. A long while ago, I slammed a nailhead into a shotgun shell primer, and it fired off, blew a hole in the roof of my garage, and burned my hand very badly. Emergency Room WA-HOO!

Interesting...

I'm the guy from this Instructible, and I consider myself pretty adept at making all sorts of ammunition for my 1/2" gun.

This is a legitimately cool idea, and it needs to be developed. Instead of using tissue paper why not try just folding the paper down in such a way that makes it easy to open when fired but requires no extra tape or paper.

Another similar option would be to make a longer case that's open on both ends with wadding on both sides of the BBs so you don't have to fold anything. If you packed it tight enough it could be practical and durable, even enough to be kept in a pocket.

Now you got me thinking. If I make anything using this design, you'll see it on my linked 'Ible and I'll give you credit as the originator.
