All of my snap pistols; gettong better each time.

First SNAP pistol: 50 ft flat

Second SNAP pistol: 60 ft flat and lokks like crap

Third and new SNAP pistol made and finished 5 minutes ago: 60's ft flat and looks sexy.

Yea. I am not a great modder so they are not perfect but they are pretty good.

Umm, is that handle-type thing held on with only hot glue?

And it looks like there is no spring in the plunger, it just relies on those extension springs. If this is correct, there is no way it can hit 60ft flat, if I am wrong, then I apoligize. Nice homemade though, it does not look bad at all.

I would make the gun a little longer to accomedate for the handle. You could add a spring perch were the spring sits.

Just needs a paint job to hide the glue =] Good job!

There are 2 of the same springs in there. I bought them from Lowes. A little bigger than a strikefire spiring and wider. I will be painting it hopefully soon.

I have no experience at all with homemades or SNAP's, So if this is wrong please say so, but something that would help the aesthetics of the handle is to move the trigger forward about 3-4 inches (Or however much it needs to accommodate the handle). That would allow you to attach the handle right to the gun.

Either way, good job with what you have.

The plunger pull is dependent on the trigger placement, since on SNAPs the plunger head acts as a catch. Moving the trigger up would 3 inches would mean that the plunger would have 3 fewer inches of travel (bad for a pistol like this).
