If you like all possible shooting homemadethen this minigun will please you. It will take only five minutes to produce, a minimum of parts and a good mood are guaranteed to you! But the main thing is that this mini pistol is safe enough and it will be difficult to cause serious damage or injury to them, no more dangerous than the pistol pistol that is sold in the toy store! )
Minigun assembly
So, let's begin! First, take a pencil and cut off a section of it 5 cm long.
Now we take a thin drill according to the diameter of the graphite rod and carefully drill a hole in the pencil segment.
Next, we take an ordinary match, mark from the edge 1 cm, apply glue to this area, it is better to take a super moment or the like, and insert the glued area into the hole in the pencil to the mark. The match after the mark needs to be broken off, the inserted match is needed to clog one edge of the pencil.
More details below:
- Mark 1 cm and glue
- We insert into the hole to the mark
- And break off the match
Now you need to drill a hole at the edge of the pencil and pass the nichrome wire.
We take two screws and fix it.
Next, we need a crown battery and hot melt. We take our design and mount it on the battery with hot melt adhesive. For more reliable tightness, it is also necessary to glue the hole corked with a match.
Now, using the same hot glue, we fix the button on the battery that will close the circuit and stick a nichrome thread.
Next, you need to take the stamp for the crown and solder the power wires to the nichrome wire through the button. Whoever didn’t figure it out, I explain, we solder one wire from the hallmark immediately to a wire or screw, the other first to one button contact, then from the second contact we solder to the wire!
Now we need a heat shrink tube, it needs to be cut along the length of the pencil. With this segment you need to tighten our pencil tightly, to strengthen it and that it would not accidentally split! )
In order for our minigun to work, we will need ordinary caps, which can be bought at any toy store, more precisely, the Bertoletov power that they contain. I strongly recommend that you not use sulfur from matches, since the barrel is clogged almost instantly and it is difficult to clean it. And also, sulfur emits a lot of heat, as a result of which the pencil quickly burns out.
Carefully remove the gasket from the piston and pour the Berthollet salt into the barrel of a pencil.
As a shell, you can use small pellets.But it’s best to take a match and stick a small clove on the end, you get a dart that can be used to shoot at targets! )
Here is such a mini dart gun, we got it))
How does a minigun work
The principle of operation is very simple! When a button is pressed, the circuit closes, as a result of which the nichrome thread glows, which detonates upon contact with the charge.
A little safety tip
Despite the fact that this toy seems harmless, everything is absolutely necessary to observe the basic safety measures when using it. When using homemade darts as a projectile, in no case point the barrel at a person or at yourself, if the dart gets into the eye, it can be lost or damaged. In general, be careful and attentive, then everything will be fine! )))
This design can be modified, for example, to assemble a convenient handle for it or use a pencil place, a denser material, then the range of the shot will increase. If you make a handle, then the trigger button can be accurately installed on it)) in general, the main thing is to show imagination!
Thanks for attention. I recommend to collect, I guarantee a good mood! )))
