Pen Gun - any good plans

[Gedi]

I'm looking for some solid plans on a pen gun, preferebly for a 22 short. I would like to convert it over to fire 22 blanks as a novelty gift for christmas. I have had no luck with the ftp. Also, if anyone knows of a link for the full auto marlin, I would appreciate it. It is one of my friends favorite plinkers, I thought he would get a kick out of it ( I saw it while browsing one of the ftp foldes, but was not allowed to download).

I found rogue science while looking for an AK74 manual and have enjoyed reading through the forum. On a side note, I did find these two sites as well and thought i would pass them along

Thank you

If you're going to convert it to fire blanks, what is this doing in improvised weapons? I thought something like this should be in the water cooler. You said you searched the ftp, but did you search the forum? or try google? try typing in "pen gun plans" in google, youd be surprised what you find, like this http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/1665/PENGUN.HTM dont be so lazy next time a SEARCH!!!

Hey Fester!

got another newbie for you to roast!

Seriously Gedi,
Please tread carefully here and re-read the posting rules. This will ensure a long life here @ Rogue Science. There are many knowledgable people here who will bend over backwards to help you with just about any topic---IF--- you follow the rules....

Every moderator will, however, take extreme pleasure ( with much applause and fanfare from the general membership) in ridiculing and banning you for life, if you do not follow those rules.

Now.....

Welcome to the club, play nice and please make a solid attempt at leg work before you ask for freebies....

btw,
a converted firearm can still be illegal to own.....check local laws so you dont give someone a jail sentence....

Whoa, hey, wait a minute... I don't want to step on NBK's toes or anything. He's the best at it, and better yet: "He has the power he has the force..." I'm no Mod or Admin. Crushing Kewls is NBK's gig and the Mods do a good job of letting go on the riffraff, too. (I do flame more than maybe I should, and if the Mods grow tired of it I'd hope they'd let me know. They must tire of it themselves after hearing so many kewl questions. And we don't know probably half of what they see).

I was looking earlier for a thread where I got the pdf file "Zips, Pipes, and Pens" to post a link to it but when I found it the link to the pdf is no longer working. I'd even e-mail the file to Gedi if it weren't 20 mb. (I do like to help out when I can if it's not a loser who shows no initiative or worse... pretends he knows everything there is to know about said topic and just wants to see if YOU know or some such lameness trolls live for).

Zip guns are fun to play with and .22's are a great thing to have when you don't have a gun. Hopefully the FTP will be sorted out soon enough and he can get "Zips, Pipes, and Pens" from there. It's a pretty interesting read.

Hereno linked a good thread start off with, though.

I had a Marlin .22 semi with a 25 round clip once and as I recall it was very picky of the ammo it ate. It liked to be cleaned every time you looked at it, too, else it would ruin all your fun once you got to going Rambo. Not sure if the full auto would be worth the trouble for a Marlin. (then again, maybe I got ahold of a lemon). :(

Have a look at this site. It's not exactly what you are looking for but this pen gun could be easily modified to fire rimfire cartridges.

Thanks for the links. And seriously, I did do a search on the forum and did find some of the links mentioned, even found links to patent pages, but could not get the pictures to pull up. As you can see from my first post in regards to the ak 74 manual, I had been here for 2-3 days, and had been browsing and searching the forum like crazy. I guess its a matter of knowing what term to use to find what you are searching for.

And if you'll notice, I did offer up some sites that I had found in my searches, so I didn't just come in trying to leech. I did try to add to the site as well.

Edit starts here-

Thanks to a forum member that emailed me, but didn't give his/her forum name I was able to see the patent page images. Apparently it takes a special TIFF viewer program plugin for IE. I have downloaded all relevant pages and zipped them up and will be uploading them to the ftp as PenGunPatents.zip

Also, as a show of good faith for everyones help, I have solidworks 2005 3 cd set with keygen and would be willing to upload to the ftp if allowed. Its a solid Cad/Cam program like a cross between autodesk and 3d studio.

This forum rocks and I appreciate everyones help.

I previously uploaded them to forum FTP. So don't worry about it.

But I have just a question what is olive fitting? I'm asking this question in order to find out its corresponding term in my native language.

It's in that thread, "olive" is slang for the part of the compression fitting thats compressed. So the correct term is "compression fitting".

Gedi:

If you are interested in pen guns read the patents 1,608,359 (fountain pen gun), 1,681,172 (pen gun) and 2,880,543 (pen pistol) or John Minnery's book "Fingertip Firepower: Pen Guns, Knives and Bombs".

Here's a commercial example of a very simple pen gun. It shouldn't be hard to convert your old Mini Maglite flashlight into a gun :)

Jelly, do you have that book? It seems it is not in my archive (which almost exact copy of our FTP). Regards
