That's wicked cool! Wish I was smart enough to make things like that....

Would this not be regulated?

Full auto BB guns are not regulated, so I don't think this would be.

Loved him shooting glass jars apart in a carpeted apartment. I know he can just vacuum, but it's always that little piece you miss that goes in your foot...
