Just playing around tonight with some ideas for making a credit card sized shooter (50 x 80mm)

Here are a few ideas so far, thought I'd share them with you.

Middle ones in frist row and last row

Send one of each. I'll let ya know which ones work.

These look good. I will no doubt try at least some of them. Thanks for posting these.

Cheers ...... Charles

I thought about glueing a few old gift cards together and using the "card multiplex" for a slingshot..... Hmmm.... I like the design at lower right... Might have to try it!

these look great!
i'm leaning towards the middle right

Mini shooters are always fun to plink with.

Look like some cool designs. Hopefully someone will build a couple & give us a report.

That's a great idea! It is similar in concept to the altoids tin-compatible series that I made, except they are smaller. I presume that if you're making them credit card sized, then you plan to fit them into a wallet and will make them no thicker than 3.5mm.

Here are the challenges:

• TTF doesn't work. Essentially it shoots like a PFS with a pure OTT action
• The fork gap shape / tips need undercut to keep the bands on
• Flexibility and structural strength is an issue if you are using plastic credit cards
• Grip is a problem; you need a lanyard
• Sharp edges and protrusions may make for an uncomfortable grip

I will update these attachments later; I will experiment with a pinkie hole derivative.

That's my pick as well.. since its such a small size I feel that would be the most comfortable design.

you could use thin aluminum, or Ti. but these look like fun to shoot

I recently picked up a few meters of 50 x 3mm aluminium plate and that is the material I intend to use. Polish that baby to a mirror finish and spray with a colour tinted lacquer.

can't wait to see the protos, if i had to pick? it would be all of them!

Cool Idea!

I got a question? Do you get a hand slap with short forks?

Never, provided you are using the right strength bands for your ammo.
