Inside the pickgun

Those funny tips are probably either for a pen pick and or the multipick gun, which apparently does more than just strike the pins. And, with the rake you say is upsidedown, just flip it.

Mate buying more tips is a waste of money, the straight tip is all you will ever use, the only other thing im going to buy in the long run is a straight needle made by peterson - they say its so strong and all i want to try it out.

hey hey...i just bought a lock pick set and made some of my own....most of the ones i make on my own work just fine...but i was wondering...WHERE CAN I BUY A PICK GUN?

chuclz: they're for pickguns:

hey10103, you can get them anywhere, read through the FAQ's... www.southord.com, www.lockpickshop.com, pretty much any site you can get picks have pickguns.

Look at say the RP1 and then think of how a pick gun works. How practical does it seem?

I'm with Chucklz 100%. I don't get it...why would they make pick gun picks in the form of a snake rake, half diamond etc...? The whole purpose of a pick gun is to use the edge of the standard pick gun pick to quickly hit the bottom pins of the lock. The gun only moves up and down. The snake rake is meant to move in and out...how the heck would this work with a gun?

Although I must admit, its a wonderful idea for a "pen pick set"

oh, i agree with you completely. they all seem useless and i would never go for any of them. just pointing out there there are tips other then straight edged seemingly made for pickguns :wink:

they probably sell them to unsuspecting suckers though who use the gun to open locks, but have no idea how to pick a lock or how locks or the pickgun itself actually works.

If I owned a pick gun, I would spend the money on the Peterson tip. Judging from the quality of their other tools, it is as strong as they claim.

Are you sure these tips are for a pickgun? I have looked around and normally you get replacement tips for a pen pick or a jack knife. I do not see how these could make any difference (perhaps make it worst) when using a pickgun. Pickguns normally have a straight and an angled pick.

Can someone else please correct me, as I hate pickguns and I could be totally off the mark.

technik has my question - you see how the rake on the middle pick is on the down side? How the hell are those supposed to hit the pins? They are placed OVER the needle - on the plaine side..

I ordered a gun and I'm thinking to buy some extra needles - shuold i skip these specials and just buy a load of plain ones - or can they be used?

Thanks

yeh, i also have a similar question. What the hel are these strange tips? i thought the whole process of pick guns was to stay still, then strike the pins up, not raking or whatever, but some of the heads clearly seem to be meant to be used this way.

I would make a fairly strong guess that these are just gimmicks to make companies more money, or am i wrong, do they actually have real purposes?

If you flick back one page, on this post, this has already been disscused. Dam, talk about a duplicate post!

Hey hey10103!

You can buy pick guns at several shops. I'll list some for you:

http://www.lockpickshop.com/page/LPS/CTGY/PGE

http://www.lockpicks.com/subcat.asp?0=203

http://peterson-international.com/pick-guns.htm

These are all stores that will ship to Canada. There may be others that'll ship here but I believe these are the most popular ones.

I forgot to mention...if you decide to buy anything from www.lockpickshop.com, you can get an additional 10% off your order. Just type in LP101 in the coupon code field at checkout.

A friend of mine really likes the mountain6 needle RP-9 for gun and epick. Also the angled needle P-3 is nice if you're working in Germany, this way the door handle won't get in the way. And while they're not on this list, Wendt in Germany also sells special needles for dimple locks, but I haven't tried them yet so I can't comment.

double sided picks are for opening disc tumbler locks

I may be missing something, but I dont see how this post relates to the discussion on the thread. Clarification please? I additionally have several picks that could be considered "double sided" that I use rather exclusivly for pin tumbler locks.
