Subject: At last. A pumpgun slingshot tutorial. April 1st 2013, 11:03 am
So many people wanted blueprints and tuts for my pump actions.
But of course the Oreo one is useless, and the cardboard one is flimsy and weak.
So I decided to make a really nice one that shoots M10 hexnuts. Those are very cheap (I buy 100 pcs for five Euros), last forever, and have the right weight. About 10 gramms is ideal for a pump gun, as draw length and weight is limited if you want to be able to fire quickly. I made one a long time ago for 20mm steel balls, but those are too heavy, three time as much as the M10 hexnuts.
Also the weapon is pretty thin, just under 30 mm wide and 80 cm long.
The magazine fits 40 rounds!
The mechanism is really the same as for the Oreo shooter - but I put in a rare earth magnet to hold the "active" nut in place. Nice, you hear a clicking noise when you repeat, and then you know everything's fine.
I have a set of blueprints and also a private how to video online:
The link to the blueprints and the secret how-to video are in the text description of the video (you have to go to youtube to see that text).

Looks fun, and it's cheaper than using oreos. Hex nuts are a little more useful than oreos, though. Oreos don't really have any practical purpose.
When I first saw this, for a split-second, I Thought I saw *Pumpkin* Slingshot Tutorial. Have you made one that shoots pumpkins yet? Maybe around Halloween, you could use small pumkins as ammo, and large pumpkins as targets?
... or you could just do it now...

Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist..
There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit.
