lol. i havent actually launched that ammo yet. we made it today and we were going to shoot it at this park and a lady came up and said " get out of here before i call the security. this is private property!" but it was the park of a school. it was because we had skateboards. i know it. and she was an old republican, so she worrys about everything. ANYWAYS. the story of the ammo getting made. we had to have something to shoot and we didnt have potatoes around. so my friend told me to take apart this jumpy thing from when he was 4. thats the handle to it. and we wrapped part of a tissuebox around it and tied it with packaging tape so it would be a tighter seal

Really? I have never heard that one! I have never met anyone who knew anyone that graffitied (is that how you spell it?) and skated. I thought it was mostly because they don't want somebody to crack up on their property and sue them.

Look cleaning built nice gun.

For everyone information you should never shoot your SG in parks or other places like that. You can get in big trouble for disturbing the peace and you could get in even bigger trouble, you see in the US if you are using something else other then Spuds as ammo your SG qualifies as (forget exact term) an illegal fire arm. You if the cops caught you shooting that thing out of that they can take it and give you a huge fine.
