Im after something someone has built, not a commercal air-rifle also, just so there are no miss-understandings

Notice the casual conversation about illegality.

"Yeah, it's illegal, but I'm gonna do it anyway". :P
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Apparently it's better to proceed with caution down under ;)

It's probably better anywhere, even in places like the US where they're supposedly legal (although no doubt many cops would say otherwise).

I'm deliberately never too open about most things I do, because there will always be someone with an opinion on it - wargaming, video games, spudding, airgunning, forums.

About the only thing I'm open about is stage crew, and the irony is there that I spend my whole time hidden anyway.

Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I need to see a man about a watch.

If you have a mobile phone, you don't need a watch. Haven't worn one since 1999 ;p

Ah, but mobile phones have problems. They run flat much sooner, need to be taken out to get charged, then get forgotten - at least in my case.

Watch batteries will last years, and can be strapped to your wrist - although even then, I seem to go through them faster than phones. About one every couple of years I think.

Well, I'm running around with two at the moment *ducks to avoid the bottles and jeers from the crowd* so one of them's bound to be working :)

As to the original post, all you need is a length of 6mm tubing jammed into one end of a blowgun, a coke bottle with a schrader sticking out of the bottom bodged to the other end et voila, you're sorted ;) no need for any black market dealings.

Me neither. Over time my phone became my watch, my camera, my MP3 player, my agenda, my alarm clock, and, last but not least, my phone.
I have it with me 24/7 and its always on, I have it for 2 years now, and it basically has never ran out of batteries.

Because my phone is so much for me, it is very important and thus I have never forgot it or forgot to charge it.
Because it is my alarm clock, I always check the battery before I go sleep, and then I put it on the charger when its less then 40%.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!

It's against the rules to discuss the selling of a homemade gun, cannon, air rifle, bb gun or what ever you want to call it on this forum.
