Watch the Lockpicking Lawyer on Youtube. Or don't, he makes it look so easy.
Instead of the snap gun, I'm thinking of ordering a set of picks. I made one out of the stainless strip from a windshield wiper blade, but I think I pull too hard on the torsion rod. I could get 3 or 4 pins to click, but I could never get the last one.

I also thought about ordering a cutaway or clear lock to practice on.

Is your plastic cylinder hollow? I drilled out one to fit the piece from the deadbolt, because yes, they aren't removable on some newer deadbolts. That cheap re-key kit I just bought had a hollow tube, worked like a charm on a deadbolt.
