How to Build a CO2 Cryo Gun


I first saw a CO2 gun on YouTube where somebody was using it at a night club to spray down the crowd with a chilling fog. I knew instantly I had to try to build one to use at the Science Magic Shows we put on at elementary schools. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to figure out how to build the cryo gun - I searched for weeks and never could find plans online. So, I decided to figure it out on my own and committed to sharing the process for any other people who might be trying to find plans to make one as well. So, get out there and build yourself a cryo gun! Or, you can buy one (here) and save your self the headache...but what fun would that be!
