Every single one of your end tags is broken the same way.
That's really not very helpful. Inside a set of CODE tags there's no reason to leave anything half-done.

I did that because it won't let you post it with the tags closed. it says:

Put the short end of the PVC into that:

Fourth, use the rubber bands to keep that in place:

And you're done!

put that onto the end of the PVC to make it into a water gun!
(in "water gun form" try tightening and loosening the ball vavle to make the stream go further(Insert your own joke here))

(P.S. my darts all got torn up due to my friend's dog so I can't get ranges at the moment.)

Code for you.

Ok, now I see what you're doing.

Its not acrylic, but .030 Petg sheeting. I am very much aware that I need to get the corners sharper, do you think setting the toaster to 500 degrees and using a shop-vacc would solve the problem?

And I think that might be too hot for the SS2, but (I think) it would solve it if it didn't melt the SS2.

That is extremely neat, but how do you plan on getting the plastic back to the shape of the SS2, since right now it is slightly larger?
