A slingshot may also work. I know once upon a time in my misspent youth I owned a wrist-rocket slingshot. I know I was able to put 1/4 "; 1/2" and 1" steel shot through multiple layers of cardboard and the hole were fairly clear. Using a bb from about 1' -2' might be the perfect combo of power to punch through cardboard creating a nice vignette from the thickness of the material. I would use some 16x20 paper to overcome the size of the holes. Another option might be to use a nail gun.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip willarney" <pwillar...@yahoo.com> To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 15:41 Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Willarney's BB Idea
