i built a tiny spud gun out of, tacks, medical kaiser pill container about medium size, a used lighter not the small ones its one of thos long ones with the sparker in it make sure its empty, some electrical tape or some duck tape,
a pen, and some wire..... well take the metal part of the lighter off its the tip part and a bare wire should come out well take your wire and cut about 9" of
it bare it and attach it to the other bare wire and then tords the very tip there is another bare wire cut 5" of wire and bare it then attach it tape all bare wire with the electrical tap there should be a plastic thing sticking out that holds the wires from when we took off the metal tip well keep it there it holds the spud gun in place then take your pill case and get a knife and make a hole about the size of the pen then take apart the pen and place it in make sure its tight then put your takes on the pill case make sure there close so they arc then attach the wires to them tape your spud gun to the plasic tip tightly it has some kick then your done now you need fuel hairspray wooks good for tiny ones for a while than gunk builds up so use axe or tag or air freshener the good thing about the pill case is that it locks so it wont back fire it has so much kick it cracked my lighter!!!!!!!!! have fun with it

I'm sorry to say this has already been done. Furthermore, you should post it in the how-to section. Nice try though, welcome to the forums.
