-
- @X08A B@X05.@X08B@X05 @X08gun@X05,@X08 for this manuscript@X05,@X08 will be considered any type of rifle
- or pistol that uses compressed air or CO2 gas to fire a projectile with a caliber
- of @X05.@X08177@X05,@X08 either B@X05.@X08B@X05,@X08 or lead pellet@X05.@X08 Such guns can have almost as high a muzzle
- velocity as a bullet-firing rifle@X05.@X08 Because of the speed at which a @X05.@X08177 caliber
- projectile flies@X05,@X08 an impact detonating projectile can easily be made that has a
- caliber of @X05.@X08177@X05. @X08 Most ammunition for guns of greater than @X05.@X0822 caliber use
- primers to ignite the powder in the bullet@X05. @X08 These primers can be bought at gun
- stores@X05,@X08 since many people like to reload their own bullets@X05. @X08 Such primers
- detonate when struck by the firing pin of a gun@X05.@X08 They will also detonate if
- they are thrown at a hard surface at a great speed@X05.@X08 Usually@X05,@X08 they will also fit
- in the barrel of a @X05.@X08177 caliber gun@X05. @X08If they are inserted flat end first@X05,@X08 they
- will detonate when the gun is fired at a hard surface@X05.@X08 If such a primer is
- attached to a piece of thin metal tubing, such as that used in an antenna@X05,@X08 the
- tube can be filled with an explosive@X05,@X08 be sealed, and fired from a B@X05.@X08B gun@X05. @X08 A
- diagram of such a projectile appears below@X05.

- @X08 The front primer is attached to the tubing with a drop of super glue@X05.
- @X08The tubing is then filled with an explosive@X05, @X08and the rear primer is glued on@X05.
- @X08Finally@X05, @X08a tassel@X05,@X08 or a small piece of cotton is glued to the rear primer@X05,@X08 to
- insure that the projectile strikes on the front primer@X05.@X08 The entire projectile
- should be about 3@X05/@X084 of an inch long.
