You really weren't kidding about the music! You posted the idea around April 1. Thought it might have been an April fools sort of thing. Should have known you were serious :rolleyes:  To bad it didn't fit but I'm confident that you will find another use for it. Maybe build a double barrel Howdah pistol to fit it in.

Crisis averted gents. I have a WWII game on Saturday and will be portraying the role of the resistance. So off I went to the internet and downloaded Edith Piaf's version of La Marseillaise, put it in the device, then slipped the device into my Mauser stock. It even acts as a resonating chamber being hollow and all.

Great build,looks fantastic and on the right side of the law in the uk :0)

 

 

Because I live in the world's armpit.

And suddenly things get serious.

I really need help on this one. Does anyone have an idea how I can make the flare gun play the chorus to "Firework" whenever the hammer strikes? I'm poor in electronics other than soldering so was hoping there's an off the shelf MP3 player with built in speakers that's small enough.

Not quite a mp3 player but its a slightly smaller format,if you replaced the speaker with a ceramic Piezo Transducer you could reduce the footprint substantially.

Wait a flare gun can fire these shells lol?

The Orion 12g Flare gun would soon muller the airsoft shells from what I remember, the hammer hits with quite a force and striking pin is made from hardened steel.

 

While some flares are most definitely deadly the Orion flare gun depicted in the road is almost certainly not.But hay, maybe it was a homebrew shell and the bloke already had a shed load of flares in a bum bag! 

 

Orion 12guage flare guns are most definitely  Illegal in the UK.

 

Here's a few links I found interesting.
