I want make a simple gun for practice. Need to ask a few very dumb questions, so don't be very harsh on me. 1) for barrel i want to use just a tube with OD 8mm, ID 6mm and thickness 1 mm. Steel AISI304. Is it fine or it will just explode in my hands? 2)How can i make at least crude iron sights? I have limited tools and pretty scarce on materials too 3) What is the easiest yet safe way to fix barrel? 4)Can I make ammo myself with cartridges for building gun and pellets for air rifle(6.35)?

Hey guys! I'm working on a custom blaster and I am a bit stuck on making a clean break action. I am particularly in love with the sliding forward to hinged mechanism on qi'ra's blaster here https://youtu.be/h8fsv6u0-lQ?si=dRGBMYO0QXdaj2yX&t=262 . I know I can use a small bearing slide track for the forward motion but does anyone know how to recreate the hinging motion with that, or what a combo sliding to hinge track would be called?

I've been looking for a pen/pipe shaped zip gun for hours and I couldn't find it, the only one that I found require some heavy tools i dont have, nothing simple. Even in Portuguese-BR (my native language) I could find a simple zip gun project in video format (where guns are strongly forbidden), but couldn't in english. If I'm doing something wrong please give some advice.
I'm using the following key words to search it on youtube/duckduckgo/google/rumble: "how to make a zip gun", "how to make a simple pen gun" "how to make zip gun using hardware"

I just received my china toy, it seems to be better built than I expected it too, like I expected the hammer spring seems a little on the weak side, and I may extend the firing pin. I am not going to be doing a liner. I think it looks fine as is. The cylinder is a little odd, mat actually need/ been made to use with a liner. I'll get some 1/4 in brake line just in case I need it. Wish me luck, and anyone that has built one chime in and say your experience.
This was 15 bucks off aliexpress for anyone wondering.
