Fake Fun Bullet Holes

Friends and family will gasp in horror as they view the carnage; your window is riddled with bullet holes! Sniper in the area? Wise guy taking pot-shots? Those death threats becoming a reality?

Don't worry, the neighbourhood is not rapidly going down hill, they are Fake Fun Bullet Holes. Yes, watch as your chums soil their undergarments at the very thought of dodging that small arms fire.

Okay, I know they only look like BB shot holes, but from a distance they can give the unsuspecting victim, er I mean friend quite a surprise.

I am not an expert in the damage small arms fire makes. I would imagine some bullets just leave a large hole in the wall but this will do for the time being.

Step 1 Supplies

Drinking straws (the bendy ones are best)

Scissors

Clear water based glue stick
or Saliva (sorry, this is not as bad as it sounds)

Thanks Artyman, we all could do with a laugh these days Cheers

[ll.13]

Interesting!

[Chris Bilton]

Yes, simple but effective.

[Chris Bilton]

great for that Christmas surprise visitor!!

[ll.13]

Haha, you've followed the comment up two years later!

[Chris Bilton]

yea, how slow is that! Could be a record. Thanks II.13 for waiting, most aprreciated!

[Chris Bilton]

dont forget, they make a great Christmas present for that surprise visitor!!!

bullets whould shatter the glass if fired from a range of 30-40 feet it may not shatter if fired frome close range. nice instructable, i got to try that out

[Browncoat]

Air riffles or BB guns can just shatter glass. Esp if the glass has been covered with tint-film. (I know from unfortunate experience)

[Chris Bilton]

In some ways I'm quite pleased I don't know the way bullets affect a window, on the other hand it would be interesting to see what damage each type makes. Even a musket ball. Hey look out! The Red Coats are coming!!!

[yourface101]

the british are coming! the british are coming! :-)

[Chris Bilton]

they are here!! they are here!!! ........................... finally  :~}

[Chris Bilton]

Never knew that, thanks for the info bobby, glad I'm not in between the window and the bullet when it happens!

[bobbyk881]

yea

[unknown24]

interesting! i will try it on our car and see what their reaction will look like! HAHA! great instructable! FAVORITE!

[bcnr33skyline187]

its a very fast pigeon believe me, i saw one robbing a store last week

[Chris Bilton]

hahah! you're right my friend, they always want something for nothing.

[peach_fart]

i wanna do this to my brothers monitor. its crt so it will look like a part of it blew up.

[Chris Bilton]

Good idea Peaches, never thought about computer screens, will try that on some unsuspecting victim. Cheers

[Thelonelysandwitch]

there's an even easier way, just get a small 9mil and shoot the glass.

[maharg20]

GREAT IDEA =D

[Chris Bilton]

fab idea!

[yourface101]

omg, that a supercalifragilisticexpialidoshisly awesome idea!! =D

[Chris Bilton]

Yes my first "victim" reacted the same way, be careful and use your new found skill wisely, fear is a powerul instructable tool....

[mmzdaniel]

this is cool! my mom will be scared to death lol...

[FN64]

The tinsel used for Christmas tree deco works quite well as phony cracks in glass & mirrors.. Might fit into your idea nicely.. Thanx for posting.. FN

[Chris Bilton]

Hey that's good, the reflection off tinsel sounds more effective than plastic for a smaller shatter effect. Being lighter I suspect it would adhere to the glass better too, thanks for that, trouble is I have to go up into the attic and rummage round for the decorations; it's spooky up there... and touching Christmas stuff this time of year really freaks me out for some reason...but for the Instructable cause i'ts worth it!

[rocketbat]

in one word, brilliant. P.S i like the pigion note!

[Chris Bilton]

Thanks, that the great thing about Instructables, cool projects and an opportunity to use some smarty pants one-liners.
