How to Fire Chainshot from an Air Gun
This guide tells you how to fire a chain (like chain shot used in old cannons) with high velocity out of an Air Gun (BB Gun, Pellet Gun, definitely NOT an Airsoft Gun).
[edit] Steps
- Power the gun as little or as much as you want (since this is a string of projectiles instead of just one, full power usually makes the velocity average).
- Work the action.
- Get the Gun in a fire-ready state.
- Muzzle-load the beaded chain.
- Point at safe target.
- Fire.
- Watch what happens.
[edit] Tips
- It is recommended a Pneumatic-Pump type air gun for this idea, because you can pump it as much as you want (but usually no more than 10 pumps is what a Pneumatic Air Gun can handle).
- If your air gun can be used for small-game hunting or pest control of some kind, make sure not to use this method over traditional means, as that would be inhumane.
[edit] Warnings
- As with using an air gun for its intended purpose, do NOT point your Air Gun at anything you don't intend to shoot.
- If your air gun has a rifled barrel, it may be considered a firearm in some U.S. states.
[edit] Things You'll Need
- One .177 caliber (or higher) Air Gun
- One beaded chain (Mostly used for necklaces, "Dog Tags", etc.)
- A safe target
