[AT] Popular Mechanics magazine - 100 years on Google

[charliehill]

Wow,  there is something in one of those mags I've wanted to see again for a 
long time.  Maybe I can find it.

Back when I was a teenager.....well I might not have even been that old, 
they had plans to make a BB shot machine gun.  It used a small electric 
motor that turned a copper tube on an axle inside a metal film can.  The 
bb's fed into the can through the axle somehow and centrifugal force slung 
them around the circumference of the can until they exited through another 
piece of copper tubing soldered  on a tangent to a hole in the edge of the 
can.
