How hard would it be to DIY a compressor attached to a thin tube on a pedestal, then shoot tungsten powder downward at some target tissue?

Does anyone have access to any gold gene gun like the PDS-1000 and the fortune of a laxed PI that wont mind some tinkering to test novel delivery methods?

Anyone seriously thinking of attempting a DIY biolisitc device? Would there be massive legal implications if one were to democratize direct genetic engineering much like manufacturing through personal 3d printers?

I know there was an old thread aboot this but I am just being curious since it doesn't seem to be soo crazy of a hack weekend project. Helium is cheap. Using fine enough sand paper would yield very small shot powder from a cube of tungsten that can e bought at McMaster...i think. Or maybe that salt alternative like one DIYBiologist said in the thread.
