Right now, I'm want to try to build a blow gun or a sling shot style weapon... Here are the requirements...
- Under 30$
- More than 100 fps
- Less than 4 pounds
What should I buy first? Would it be possible to fit hop in a blowgun? I have an extra spring pistol barrel, dunno if that would do good... |

| I've seen paintball ones but never airsoft ones. I already checked the local Dicks and Garts and not found a thing. What brand of blowgun is it? |

| Go to a hobby store, get a 6mm ID metal tube. Drill a hole in it towards the end towards your mouth, a fairly wider hole, then put a rubber band around the barrel so it sticks into the hole a bit. Next apply some tape over the rubber band to air tightify it. Start with a small hole and enlarge it to make a more effective hopup effect. |

| why would you want to make a blowgun for $30, when you could buy a pretty nice pistol for that much? I mean, it's and okay idea, it just needs some power behind it. ( i mean like compressed air power) |

| Just stick a hand full of BBs in your mouth and blow through a barrel. Makes a fun little automatic blowgun, and ges decent power with a long barrel. |

| I think that a regular professional slingshot goes a helluva lot faster than 100fps. You may even have to downgrade it or not pull it so far. |

A wrist rocket is just a super highly powered sling shot,
just google wrist rocket on images, itll be there on the top. |
