Make a Pencil Cannon

Make a Pencil Cannon
So yesterday I was sitting around our house and had a brilliant idea. Nothing. I was just goofing off and made this "Pencil Cannon."  I am calling it that because I don't know what else to call it.  I was sitting around, hanging out with my cousin when I just started making one, it turned out pretty good for being the first time I ever made it. So, now i will show you all how to make one of your own.

Uses:

-Pressing against someone's arm, pulling back, and firing the end of the chop stick into their arm.

-Put a third or fourth of a shop stick down the "barrel" of the Pencil Cannon and fire it and have a war with friends

***WARNING***

May cause bodily harm if aimed at a person. Take extreme care of what/who you aim at. You may have this weapon, but they have their fists and may beat the hell out of you.

If you use this at work you could get fired.

If you use this at school you could get suspended/expelled.

Use at your own risk.

***WARNING***

-Common Sense. (Which is not too common...)

If you would like to make wooden projectiles you will need the following:

-Another chop stick.

Also, if you would like to color the chop sticks, I would recommend using Sharpies.
