Step 1: Dismantle the Pen

Ok Welcome to my 3rd instructable. Now i shall teach you how to make a Pen Ink Shooter. this is good for useage at school because if the teacher takes it, you can make another one in like 2 minutes. please don't shoot someone in the face or head. because this stuff hurts. the pen tip is dull but it still kinda hurts. it won't make you bleed though.

first you must get an average BIC pen and a rubber band. we will use the rubber band later. you can throw away the cap and the back part of the pen. by the bottom part i mean the little cap that covers the back of the pen. this pen barrel is hollow. for the back you might need to use pliers (preferably needle-nose) to take it out.

then take out the ink tube. just bite the little brownish part on the tip of the pen and pull if you don't have long nails. leave the little black thing at the top. if you don't it will be a bit harder to shoot.

now stick the bottom of the ink tube into the end of the barrel without the black thing like in picture 3.

it should now look like picture 4.

I made it with a different type of BIC pen-Clear-it went really fast. Take 5 toothpicks,load one as if were ink tube, then shoot.This should not be shot at people unless you made point flat,still not in head,face or throat. The other four are just so you can reload without retrieving the one you shot also you can tie fishing wire to ink tube/toothpick and pull string back to retrieve and reload,Al ready again. Again another great Instructable.
