Pressure Tank Gun
#1
Emergency Oxygen Tank

Pipe Frame/Rod

Wrench/Screwdriver (Disables the safety on the oxygentank?)

Pressure Tank Gun.

Can load with any tiny object (pens, coins, money(?), small foods).

Deals damage based on tank pressure used (Can set the outlet pressure by clicking on it in hand) and item throwforce weight.

That's all.

If an item is fired with enough pressure it should be treated as a bullet and only be removable via surgery.

Why is this coin in this man's chest?

These would be able to fire new/spent bullets, sleepy pens, and darts (load one from a cartridge) with their correct effects, right?

What happens if you load it with an implanter?

This pressure launcher thing is already an item: the Rock-It Launcher.

Well, the same thing minus the... pressure concept.

So it's not really the same thing at all.

But it's somewhat similar.

Can this one fit in a backpack? please?

This sounds like a potato gun. So, firing explosive tomatoes at people would be hilarious.

It's way too easy to make, however. Maybe give it some sort of durability - the more robust the objects you fire, the faster the gun breaks. A full bullet would do 25 damage to the gun, whereas a spent bullet (assuming they don't do the same brute damage) would do 10-15. That's only an example, however; I have no idea how such a system would work in practice.

Maybe give it a chance to explode back at the user like the zip gun.

It's not too easy to make and i think your balancing suggestion is kindof silly in scope.

Emergency oxygen tanks don't hold that much gas in them, so you'd need to be refilling it often.

The thing doesn't shoot bullets. It shoots pens/shrapnel/potatoes/coins/paper/etc.

Basically, I'm thinking of an item that does damage on par with the staplegun but can shoot anything that can fit in your pocket

Yeah, making it use up a lot of gas would be sufficient balancing.

But could it shoot spent/unspent bullets, even if they don't act the same as bullets fired from a gun?

Realistically, any bullets fired out of this would probably not do any significant damage. It's be like getting pelt with a stone, albeit a very fast one.

Could we also be able to build a big version of this with a disposal pipe and a large gas canister?

Idea:oxygen tanks (not cannisters, which already is a thing) can be built with different minerals. Stronger minerals are more pressure resistant, thus stronger cannons.

Also as a side effect it may also mean bigger, hotter streams of flamethrower fire.
