Well this is just me but.. I've always found that designing the gun, building it ang getting something to work is the best part.

Haha I was building one today :D

It's a new 2" barrel sealer, only took 5 hours to build so far. And now all I have left to do is to make a wooden piston on the lathe at school (with o-ring grooves) and get a female 2" threaded adapter.

The 5 hours were totally worth it, good fun. And so far i've documented the whole thing with pictures. I'm seeking to improve and replace my old 2" piston how-to.

Sounds like You Aussies need to do something.
If not some other country will just wait for you all to forget about anything that shoots a projectile. Then they will roll in and take over.
So the way I see it you may as well rid yourselves of your current Gov't yourselves. Wake up Aussies!!! 8)

I'm making a nice little pvc marble gun at the moment. Spent 2 hours so far and it's close to being done. It's looking clean :D.

I still think aside from our soon-to-be-reinstated gun laws we also need V8's back for P platers. Just because an idiot killed himself and a few others in a turbocharged R34 Skyline and another wraps himself around a power pole in a 3 cylinder Diahatsu dont mean we all drive like idiots right? Guys? They took away my V8 :cry: I want some justice. Twitch 4 PM again.
