Mini Spud Gun, Classroom Nemesis

Step 5 Projectiles

This mini cannon can basically shoot anything that can fit in the barrel so here are a few ideas on ammunition:

1. Paper cone. ( depicted in step 1 )

2. Those little popper things you give to your kids on the 4th of July.

3. Cigarette filters.

4. Cut a 1/2 in. slice of a potato and take the barrel and press into it making a nice mini tater slug.

5. Pills.

6. Q Tips. {TheMattHatter}

7. Technic/Knex Rods. {Trans_Am}

8. Eraser with Needle in it... Ouch. {Girrrrrrr2}

9. Straw with bb jammed in the end wrapped lightly in electrical or magic tape.

I'm open to suggestions feel free to comment and add more ideas and I'll put them here.

Best projectile for these mini spud guns:
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.

I've tried firing spitballs, pen tips, airsoft BB's (a bit too small), and a .22 cal bullet (which only went a few feet and much slower). so far spitballs are the best.

[cheezydog100]

try firing spit balls... or cut ink barrels of pens... but you have to prepare them first... put a ton of tape around the back to keep from getting ink on you... and then put stuff around the edge to get a better fit... this way may put a splat of ink on them... or try erasers ground down on the edges... i have many more just ask... last free one... try an eraser with a needle in it... it may poke... or if you wanna be nice use a paper clip...

I doubt the ink projectiles would work very well but it is an interesting idea, have you ever seen the paint ball bb s?

[girrrrrrr2]

no but i have seen the plastic ones... and if you cut them correctly they will still leave a mark on them... all you have to remember is that you need to cover up the back end... or else you will have ink on your hand... and that is almost to much evidence...

[Grim]

Heh, evidence.

[girrrrrrr2]

the ink on your hands... it isnt going to be the least unsuspicious thing around...

[Grim]

Heh as in the haha kinda heh.
