Cut the print out out of the sheet of plywood. This can be made to any lengh that fits you. Make sure its the thinner sheet.

Side Pannels

Cut 2 strips from the thicker piece of plywood that are 16'' wide and 1'' high. Do not drill any holes yet. You can make your own stock with the thicker piecee of wood. It can be any lengh you want it to be.

Front Part

Now, Make the front. It is a 5in x 4in piece of wood. Cut it out and drill a hole for a dowl that is 1/4 of an inch deep on the upper front piece. After you drilled the hole, place some glue on the dowel and place it in the hole. To hold it in place better, rotate the dowel a few times.

Pull the front of the gun until the peg is upward. Than take a rubber band, slip it on the peg and make sure its on the bottom, than loop it on the gear. Repeat this for a while. Once done cock the lever back, hold the gear, and ether let go and let them fly, or shoot them by slightly moving the gear each time. Check out the pics and have fun!!!
