Take a wood dowel that is 3/4 in diameter and cut a 3 inch long piece. Then take a small drill bit like a 1/8 and drill a hole in the exact center about one inch deep. (this will be used to put a screw in) Go to your local hardware store (I recommend ACE) and buy a 5/8 beveled washer. ( they are used in sink repair.) The actual OD of the washer will me 13/16, the perfect seal for 3/4 pipe. Attach the washers to the dowels with screws and then fire. For more fun drill a hole in the front and glue a long 3 inch nail to it and go tree hunting. I will have pictures of all of this tomorrow with damage pictures also. Going over to brplatz to shoot some stuff with our new cannon and I will report back later. Have fun and be safe.
Turns out that the slugs didnt weight enough to keep them flying straight so the nail didnt work. So we drilled a 1/2 hole about 2 inches deep and filled it with lead. lol now these things will punch through counter tops.
This is and entry wound lol.
and this is the exit!
How to video and better instructions comeing soon. brplatz should have the new thread running later. Check it out.
