Completed ball bearing gun

Ball bearing gun in hand

One day as I was working at my lathe I looked up to see a good sized rat staring down at me through a hole in the low ceiling. Since this made me uncomfortable and since the little guy had also been using my walls as his toilet I decided to build this compressed air gun to deal with the rodent problem. It shoots 1/4 inch steel ball bearings and has a laser sight. Although it was fun to build and hunt, I would recommend trying rat traps first. (2004)
