ever seen a coil gun ? ever wanted to build one but thought it too hard to do. well its not. im going to teach you how to make a small coil gun. (well actually a solenoid gun but what the heck). its not very powerful but its fun to shoot in-doors and experiment with.
tape the batteries like so.
cut either wire it the middle and strip it.
attach the end of the wires to the batteries.
attach the solenoid the the batteries using tape.
you’re finished product should look like this.
===========================================================
how to fire
load the spring part of the solenoid into the solenoid hole.
connect the two wires and hold them in place for a short time then release them. and the gun should fire. if not you did something wrong.
or watch the video i made on how to fire it.
Q: how strong is this gun ?
A:not that strong but i am working on increasing the power at the moment it can knock down soda cans and what not but the power isn’t that great.
Q: my gun isn’t working.
A: go over my instructions again if you still cant figure it out send me message and ill assist you the best i can.
Q: this gun sucks it weak.
A: its not made for power if you want power make a pneumatically modded sprinkler valved marble cannon. or a mauler valved golf ball cannon. this is just for mucking around with.
you could add a switch where the two wires are supposed to meet but i couldn’t find a spare switch.
