***Under Construction***

Will update soon:
The dimension of home made paper caps
include video firing comparison using kanecaps and home made caps


Sorry for my broken English Very Happy

In my country, caps difficult to find and expensive, the price arround USD 75 for one box Kanecaps. The model gun it's self the price can be double from Uncompany retail price.

So i really want to fire my model gun but i can't affort the caps. So i'm making an experiment to make caps with cheap material.
