Exercise your second amendment rights with lip balm gun

This instructable will show you how to construct a less-than-lethal, easily concealed, personal defense weapon. The design's only drawbacks are that it is a single shot weapon and it has the killing power of a marshmallow dropped from the height of two feet. You might be suprised by how far it shoots though. You'll lose the projectile before you know it!

I first learned of this technique back in fourth grade and no assault on my person has gone unavenged since.

Step 1 Required Materials

The first thing to do is get yourself some lip balm. In my experience, Chap Stick works the best but feel free to experiment.

Ya don't have ta eat it,DUH!

[D3v1n]

lol, ew :)

[Slayerfan666]

Mine tastes like wax and tingles, am I supposed to swallow it?

[lycoris3]

to add to the lethal thing, use toothpicks by drilling a hole in the cap and let 'er rip! havent tried it myself but i will in the near future. Beware little annoying bullies!!! revenge is coming to you!! oh, for having the toothpicks on right, you could use the twist thingy and carve a little dent in it to hold the toothpick better. Ahh, great minds think alike don't we?

[absolute zero]

you mind?????? HELL NAW!!!!!!!!!jk

[lycoris3]

wonderful! another weirdo like myself who thinks of such things as plotting!

[pokerstud001]

So...we're supposed to eat it?

[Jacko13]

wow...thats- uh... weird...

[evilpyro]

the red one tastes the best but how should i know

[ohyea]

what did it taste like?

[alex-sharetskiy]

_{like chapstick}

[TyMan210]

I used some of the stick to make a better seal. It now has the killing power of a marshmallow dropped from the height of 3.5 feet!

[softballchicky#7]

Um........ Thats weird. I'm just going to break mine off now........ WOTHOUT my teeth, thank you.

[mettaurlover]

i didn't have any lip balm, so i used a super size glue stick. improved the seal on the plunger, oiled the lid connection, as well as the trigger shaft, thing sting like a brick at twenty miles per hour. don't ask why i know what that feels like.

[absolute zero]

why do you know how it feels like? shoot yourself?

[mettaurlover]

no; my sister stole it and shot me.

[absolute zero]

hahahahahhaha, i never got to try it, i dont wana waste a tube so i gotta finish it off first
good for me because i USE it now, helps out my naturaly dry lips =)

[mettaurlover]

aah... you ever try the gluestick method or the wonderful prank of replacing the inside part with low-powered explosives, attaching match heads to the shaft, and coating the inside of the tube with sandpaper? the results are hilarious! although a bit dangerous...

[absolute zero]

nope, sounds like im gunna do it now.....
if any1 gives me a dangerous idea, i usually end up doing it,
ex: a pocket sized deadly crossbow

[R4Man18]

You want to make it straight up lethal just get some 1 inch rigid (about 2 foot long strapped to your back or leg) and a nice 3 inch slug. Use pretty much the same method to strike the pin and u are set.

[absolute zero]

or get a large stick an beat the **** out of ppls with it(my method)

[gluless]

Lol..I'm new to instructables and this kind of instructable is just one example of why I LOVE THIS SITE!! Oh the memories of seventh grade science class and mayhem in the back of the room, lol. Hilarious i'ble! Thank you for the smiles.

...if anybody ever hands you a chap stick with the cap still on, punch them in the face.

...it has the killing power of a marshmallow dropped from the height of two feet.

Chapped lips are a small price to pay for personal security.

HAHAHAHA!

Lol, 5/5 stars for making me smile!

[mettaurlover]

used a extra large glue stick for this project. everyone who attacks me sooner or later ends up with a one inch perfect circle shaped bruise somewhere on their body.

[Lithium Rain]

:D

[mettaurlover]

I'm making something similar to this out of PVC piping and an air compressor... probably a bad idea, but who cares?

[Lithium Rain]

Hahaha. That's neat. What will it shoot?

_{I hope you won't be shooting it at people or animals though-that could be dangerous (and possibly illegal!).}

[Mr. Chips]

This is cool. It went farther with the water in it. Thanks

[dezire]

Just as a 'mod' to this Instructable,you could also use and Elmer Mini Glue Stick in substitute to a chap stick. ~DEZIRE @(>_<)@

[shaclonts]

i tried an elmers glue stick but it didn't work

[mettaurlover]

did you try an extra large 1-inch diameter glue stick?

[geoffypi]

lol! but why amber glasses

[mettaurlover]

yeah, why? red provides better contrast.

[Pancakeslayer]

i think my favorite part of this instructable was how serious the video was, a little unnecessary to have an empty thing of chap stick in your pocket that shoots about 10 feet, it seems that a thing with the chap stick could would be more handy, and i guess it could protect you from any microbial biological enemies

[kill1234]

The taste depends on what flavor is the lipstick.

[wolf555hound]

that 2nd step works for me, cuz i stole like 11 cahpsticks form school, and they taste like spearmint ftw! lolz

[johndoe5595]

I'm gonna try drilling a hole, putting the outside of a pen and sealing it into the hole. then filling it with bee-bees. hopefully it will work. if anyone would like to try it, tell me how it works. and great Instructable by the way, it's awesome.

[iamthemargerineman]

cute.

[golfer12345]

i wander what it tastes like??????

[Phyrkrakr]

like candle wax...i mean, how would i know?
