1. Remove the tip of your Bic pen by biting and pulling or using pliers.
2. Remove end cap ( Be creative, theres no best way, I just cut it off, but make it a clean cut! )
Barrel Is Complete, Set Aside.
3. Remove the felt tip of the Crayola marker ( Messy, dispose of wisely )
4. Punch small hole in the rear of the marker and insert the screw. This will serve as a 'handle' to remove the end cap.
5. Pull, thus removing the end cap of the marker. Do not discard, you will need it.
6. Remove the ink tube inside the marker ( Again, be creative, tweezers, etc., discard of wisely )
7. Poke two small holes 1mm in diameter about 3/4in. from the rear of the marker at the 12 and 6 o'clock.
The Chamber Is Complete, Set Aside.
8. The peizo electric igniter probably is still inside your BBQ Lighter, so we're going to need to remove it with the wires intact.
9. Usually the igniter comes with one wire and a contact pad, if so find another wire about the same thickness and attach to the contact pad. ( Once again, be creative )
10. Strip the ends of the wires leaving about a millimeter of exposed wire.

Those tall, skinny Lego antennas. The ones that can flex a little bit. The base of the antenna that interlocks with other Legos is perfectly matched to the inner diameter of a BIC pen tube. Shooting these things is dangerous (these shoot WAY faster than any q-tip; you can't even see them fly they go so fast. I shot one at a fabric couch and it penetrated the whole way to the base of the antenna). The base also acts like a badminton birdie and stabilizes the long, thin antenna in flight.
not everything is a "waste of time" or a matter of having too much time on your hands but hes really beating most cavilians and hes not on facebook all day hes doing somthing useful with the time on earth mabey hes like some of us and likes to find out what happens if u mix hairspray and butane with an oxygen level and see what ratio propels farther so i agree with everyone in this convo except you Drstoopid
