Making this slingshot is not only fun but it can also be used to hunt small animals. This is how we will show you how to make a strong and durable gun using some basic materials like PVC pipe, and a few tools.
Materials you will need DIY Slingshot projects:
- PVC pipe (3/4 inch diameter): 2-3 feet long
- PVC elbow joint (3/4 inch): 2 pieces

- Rubber tubing: High quality latex tubing, about 2 feet long
- Leather or synthetic pouch: To carry ammunition
- Duct tape: Thick and durable
- Zip ties: To secure the tubing
- Jigsaw: To cut the PVC pipe
- Sandpaper: To smooth the edges
- Measuring tape: For precise cutting
Cut the PVC pipe:
Cut the PVC pipe to the lengths we have mentioned.
Two pieces, each 1 foot long (these will make the slingshot barrel).One piece, about 6 inches long (this will be the handle).Another piece, about 8 inches long (this will be the animal stock).
Assemble the bottle: Take two 1-foot pieces of PVC and connect them with a PVC T-joint. These pieces will double the barrel of your catapult gun. Attach an 8-inch piece of PVC to the bottom of the T-joint; this will be a support stock.

Create the Arm:
Add 6 inches of PVC to the bottom of the support stock using a PVC elbow joint. This forms the handle of the sniper rifle. Use another PVC elbow joint to attach the handle to the barrel side, making sure to hold it tight and securely.
Attach the Rubber Tubing:
Cut two equal lengths of rubber band, each about 1 foot long. Attach one end of each hose to the end of the PVC bottle with a zip tie. Make sure the hose is securely attached to prevent it from falling off. Attach the other end of the rubber tubing to the leather bag. This bag will hold your guns.
Secure and Strengthen:
Wrap the joints and connectors with duct tape to properly secure your catapult gun. This will increase the durability of the gun and ensure that the gun can withstand repeated use. Clean up any rough edges of the PVC with sandpaper to avoid injury.
Testing and Modification DIY Slingshot From PVC:
Place a small stone ball or steel ball in a leather pouch, pull it toward the pipe, aim and release. Test the shotgun to make sure it is working properly. Adjust the length of the rubber tube or the position of the handle if necessary to improve accuracy and strength.
DIY Slingshot Safety Tips : Always wear goggles when using your catapult gun. High-energy impact can cause injury if not handled properly.
Guns: Use small round objects such as marbles, steel balls or smooth stones for best results. Maintenance: Inspect the rubber tube regularly to maintain the rifle’s strength and accuracy and replace it if it appears worn.
