Mechanical Pencil Shooter

Mechanical Pencil Shooter
There are many pencil/pen shooters on instrucables, but this one is even simpler and just a good.
This is something I made during an unexciting class, and it sure added a lot more excitement.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to make this, because it is such a simple design.

All you need to make your shooter is a normal BIC mechanical pencil and a rubber band (preferably small, but a regular one will work too).

How.. do you shoot it? I don't get that part. Wouldn't the black tube fly out with everything else?

Ahh, thank you very much. I knew it was simple I just couldn't grasp it. Thanks!

nah, don't take it down. Instructables is all about people sharing what they've made, and how they done it. You've given clear instructions with relevant pictures. This website would be boring if it only had one How-To for every possible project, and it's not as if there is a limited space. The more the merrier.

There is something unique about it though. How the rubber band is attached.
