yo, this has been done already. i know like a million people already said this but i just had to say it. i sold a hole bunch at my school for 50 cents each. i made over $10 in a week. That may not sound like much, but to me it is

I made my own and added a rubberband instead of a balloon and i used bamboo skewers as ammo. I posted an instructable on it, check it out: Bamboo Skewer Shooter

Its not my fault they are ignorant. They should do research to see if it is here. Duped instructables is not beneficial, it is repetitave and unnecesary.

WHY! WHY wont people research projects before they post them? Everytime i see a repeat instructable, i die a little inside. Do some research before you post something, as this is on here many times. its a simple glove gun, nothing new.

If it bothers you that much, just kindly post a link to the other instructable that had already been posted so that the same type of instructables can easily be tracked and improved upon.

WHY! WHY is it such a big deal when people put up repeats--is this an exact copy of the past Instructable you're referencing? If other people really want to build, say, a launcher made of a balloon and a water bottle, would not two Instructables on the subject be beneficial? Each post gives the reader different perspectives, unique pictures, and a variance in the literal instructions... I do not see the harm.

In other news, I would advise you to check your spelling; the words simply, penny, you're, and pretty should be fixed. Good pictures, and I look forward to your further contributions...

Sqt.Waffles, It's okay if there are more than one Instructable for doing something. If you've already seen and you're not interested, just let it go. This is his first Instructable, so just give him/her props for not saying it was their first instructable :) Everyone needs to start somewhere...
Apr 26, 2007. 11:59 PMlebowski says:
....so let them start with whatever they're interested in.
