what did you use as darts?

Nails with a wrapped tape tail

whats a breech seal?

Do some more research, this site is full of useful information

how far does it shoot?

Miles! But you can't really aim it, so it's strictly for across-the-room use only.

and how much did it all cost?

Less than 20 of your finest American dollars

MrCrowley: Edited for content (shooting animals)

No, please don't use it shoot animals.

can you make a video how to make this awesome pengun?
how the hell does it shoot and do the piston let air throw to the body but not to the barrel?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

can you make a video how to make this awesome pengun?

No, I've already explained it well enough ad nauseum, if you can't make it from the current instructions then you're probably not responsible enough to use it properly. Still, if you have any specific questions other than asking for step-by-step building instructions, feel free to ask.

can you send more pics from the piston?

can you send more pics from the piston?

What more do you need?


It's a piece of metal and a BB...can you not comprehend that? A piston can be made from anything, nothing has to be made to exact specifications, so use your head, that i'm pretty sure you were born with, and just experiment with anything that you would think would make a suitable piston.

If you can't think of anything to use for a piston, you obviously don't know enough to start building a piston. Go to Home Depot, and I guarantee you there will be 10,000 things you could make a piston from.

Go do some more research.

The piston can more easily be cut out of thick solid rubber like so:

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Also, what are you using to get to 600 psi?

[poppamies]

a high pressure air compressor that i mod to a schrader valve. the maxinium pressure of compressor is 300bar and i use it on my weihrauch hw 100k. the pengun airtank is full on about 2seconds

[john bunsenburner]

So it is a scuba tank compressor?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Interesting, would love to see photos of your charging setup too

[john bunsenburner]

maybe its jsut me but perhaps a 300bar compressor is not the safest was to fill a pengun, please show us that set up of yours.

[poppamies]

now i fill it with an paintball tank because my compressor broke just mayby 15min ago and now i use a 700psi and 1,8mm barrel. it shoot needles and solderin iron ( i`m going to send pics from the bullets and the pengun. my camera is still broken so you have to wait for mayby week
