As a child I was able to make my self a neat gun which could fire over 5 meters and still being cheap and cool. Now I will share how I made it before I completly forget it.

To complete this tutorial you’ll need the following

• wooden clothing peg (check first image)
• rubber band
• small saw or you can just break of the first part
• needle, toothpick, match or something similar for ammunition

1. Split your peg.

2. Saw and grind.

Gently saw the parts off and keep the biggest part. You only want to do this to one of the pieces. If you don’t have a saw it’ll do just breaking off the larger piece and forget about the small at the back (upper in picture below).

The piece you haven’t touched now needs some grinding where the spring is going to be sitting. Make sure you make enough room for the spring to securely stay in it’s place (check step 3).

3. Put it together.

Put the spring back on the biggest piece you just grined and mount the upper piece (now refereed to as the re-loader) with a rubber band. Please do use a smaller rubber. I didn’t have any other band when making this tutorial. Make sure the re-loader is not to tight mounted, this will cause the projectile to eject slower and shoot shorter.

4. Re-loading and arming.

Pull the re-loader forward until you hit the spring. Pull the re-loader down and backwards until the spring is locked in it’s position. Now arm your weapon with desired ammunition.

Troubleshoot

• If the spring is stuck in arming position, you may have to grind it’s lock-hole a bit.
• If above dosen’t work because the spring is slipping from it’s place underneath the gun, you didn’t grind a good enough room for it.
• When your spring is going back inside the re-loader when fireing, you didn’t saw off enough at the end of it. Grind off some more.

Again; use with caution. Do not aim at any human, animals or like. This is not a toy.
