I haven't made this yet :roll:

Seriously though, that would be so heavy that it would be prohibitive to ship it around (My company flies me by Ryanair, so that's around €47,085 if carried as extra baggage :roll:).

$20 including postage, and there's a bit of a backlog so you would have to be patient.

Final part done, 0.177" barrel adapter that should give lower muzzle energy but higher velocity and therefore better penetration depth:

yes, it has a female 1/8" BSP thread which matches the male thread on the pen gun.
