Criticism makes you better. It makes you realize your mistakes and how to improve them. The problem is that people are so thin-skinned now that any criticism is taken as "verbal abuse."
I like the selection of hardwoods, with the contrasting Dark wood - - Probably Walnut with the lighter wood, Probably Oak Grips, and either Maple or Alder inner pieces. In any case -- The firepower of this is Deadly, and given some Properly placed felt 'Stoppers' at the front, it would be darn near silent. Annnnnd the kicker is... Easily Made, Projectiles are unlimited with your imagination, and everything in it is not yet outlawed! Bravo. bet this would take out a low hanging drone... Jus' Sayin... Carry on!
Use your limited brain power and create your own template from the concept. Clearly you have zero engineering skills and even less talent. Stick with what you know and stop being mentally lazy. Besides which - better to stay OUT of trouble - than build devices that will ensure you are imprisoned for being in possession of an offensive weapon - imprisonment would for a very long term should you cause grievous bodily harm - even in a self0defense situation - use of excessive force can lead to a prison sentence - So don't be STUPID
Cool, the only thing is that you should cut small metal tubings to protect the elastic from those 2 front agressive screws that are holding the elastic in place.
Personally, I'd have just used 2 Chicago screws. If you joined them together on the top of the barrel with a little bridge piece of metal, you could even have them double as a front sight for the gun as well. Then it's just as easy as unscrewing the underbarrel side of the screws & lifting both posts out as a whole unit by the front sight.
I had a lovely wooden desk with a wooden door. Somehow someone broke the door. Well, it was amazing how a colleague fixed it. Skills. In the past there were so many more we have lost.

-I'm old now but when I was small in the early 60s some teenagers, some who were in streetgangs then made Zip Guns. I think they started making them in the 1930s up to the 50s to early 60s. They'd sneak & make 'em in wood or metal shop in school. Some guys did pretty good, some were shitty, but with a homemade wood pistol grip, rubber bands, a nail, old car antennas shortened up & a .22 bullet, you could wound somebody & at worst kill 'em. & if the job was crap the gun might either blow up or fall apart in your hands. But this here is a nice nail gun job.
