- This file will document the procedure to produce small .177 caliber
- cartridges that will fire a cloud of pepper defense spray, for use by
- individuals interested in carrying a form of defense, but object to carrying
- true firearms or weapons that are capable of serious injury.
- All processes described in this file are for informational purposes. If
- the reader takes the responsability to manufacture the products described
- here, it is the readers own decision, and the author of this file will take
- no responsibility for any injuries or punishments levied on the reader of
- this file or anyone that is injured by any procedure or product described
- within this file.

- >>>Intro<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^^
- Now that the disclaimer is over with, we can get down to business. You
- may ask why you'd want to make these Tear-Gas Cartridges (TGCs). Well, if
- you're like me, you know you need some form of protection in today's world,
- but you really don't want to carry a real gun, or even a pellet gun, since
- most of todays pellet guns are very powerful and can even be lethal.
- Well, now, if you have a pellet gun, you can make harm-less TGCs for it,
- and give yourself the protection you want, and the piece of mind you need.
-
-
- >>>Materials<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Ok. This is just a list of the things you'll need to complete this
- project. You'll want to have all of these materials before you start.
-
- Materials--
-
- 1) Extendable metal antenna similar to Radio Shack #270-1413
- 1) Can of pepper gas, or a reasonable amount of homemade pepper irritant
- 1 or 2) Plastic sandwich bags
-
- Equipment--
-
- 1) Pipe cutter
- 1) X-atco blade
- 1) Length of wire with a small bend at the end
- 1) Pair of goggles
- 1) Respirator (optional, but recommended)
- 1) Pair latex rubber gloves
-
- >>>Prep<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^
- Ok. Now you need to find which section of the antenna fits your gun. Just
- cut off the little cylindrical dealie at the end and try each section. When
- you've found the section that fits your gun, cut off all the other pieces
- and get rid of them or somehting. Now, using the pipe cutter, cut the section
- that is the size of your gun (.177) into a bunch of smaller sections that
- are each the length of a pellet. You should have 8 or 10, and you'll want
- at least 6 (2 for test firing, and 4 to use).
- Also, take the sandwich bag(s) and cut it into small (about 1 inch square)
- pieces of plastic. This is vital. You must not cut the excesivly large,
- or insufficiently small. It may take some practice to find the right size.
- That's why you use water to test fire.
- This should be the last step of the prep for making the actual cartridges.
- You should definately be OUTSIDE to do this part. Take some sort of
- container that you know will not cause much splash.
- I suggest using some sort of tall beaker. Anyway, go outside with your
- gloves, goggles and respirator on, and spray some of your irritant into
- the container. If you chose to use homemade irritant, you have an advantage
- here. Anyway, you only need a little. Maybe 2 or 3 CCs (eyeball it). Cover
- this contianer immediatly, before going inside, and before removing your
- protective gear.
-
-
- >>>Procedure<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Ok. We're now moving to a step by step format, as I know I don't give
- complex instructions well. Here we go.
-
- 1. Take one of your little aluminum tube fragments and stand it on end
-
- 2. Take a square of plastic wrap or bag, and using the rounded wire, press
- it down into the canister. You want a little pocket in the bottem, but
- you also need to keep the edges of the plastic above the top of the
- canister.
-
- 3. With a method you will discover for yourself (there are several good
- methods. Find one that works), put a small amount of the TG into the
- bubble or pocket of plastic in the bottom of the TGC. Just make sure it
- doesn't completely overflow the sides of the plastic.
-
- 4. Take the little piece of wire, or another piece, and use it to fold over
- the sides of the plastic and tuck them into the TGC. Like this horrid
- ASCII diagram:
-
- _/-|##|-\_ |\/|
- |##| |##|
- ^ |##| |##|
- |
- plastic before tucking ^--- Plastic after tucking
- (# means TG)
-
- 5. Pat yourself on the back, for you have finished the first TGC. Now, make
- the rest. Be sure to make one or two (or more) with WATER for a test firing.
-
-
- >>>Test Firing<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Make sure you KNOW for CERTAIN which TGC aren't really Tear gas, the ones
- that are water (I know you READ THE WHOLE FILE BEFORE BEGINIG AND KNEW TO
- MARK THE WATER FILLED ONES, RIGHT?). Now, take those two (or however many)
- and take them outside or wherever, it doens't matter. Put them in your gun
- (be it CO2 or pneumatic) and set up a target of paper or something. One other
- idea to see how they work is to use some of your mom's perfume or some
- deodorent or something instead of water. This will help you see how well it
- spreads. Anyway, pump the gun up, or whatever the case is, and fire. You
- should see a cloud of gas eject from the gun, as well as the plastic and
- the canister. Neither of the latter two objects will really hurt anyone.
- Hopefully, the cloud of gas WILL!!!! If you decided to use a fragrence of
- one type or another, you should notice the scent filling the area. It can
- spread rather well.
-
-
- >>>Conclusion<<<
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Be aware that these tear gas cartridges are NEVER to be used as an
- offensive weapon, or for attack in a mugging or such. They should ONLY be
- used for defensive purposes. If you decide to do otherwise, that is your
- problem, and I SHALL NOT be held responsible.
