PVC Slingshot

PVC Slingshot
 I decided to make a slingshot that can be made cheaply and easily yet still shoots very hard. I also decided to use PVC because it's something I haven't seen before. PVC is a strong pipe that is readily available. It is also cheap. I am very satisfied with the slingshot that I made. I think that this is the best possible slingshot that can be made for its price (under $10!). Well, here it is, my first instructable and hopefully one that you will like.

DISCLAIMER: THE SLINGSHOT MADE IN THIS WEAPON  IS A WEAPON. IT CAN BE VERY POWERFUL  AND CAN SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE. NEVER AIM IN THE DIRECT OF ANY LIVING THING OR ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE DESTROYED. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR  ANY DAMAGE YOU MAY DO WITH THIS. 


Sorry for the bad picture quality, my camera isn't very nice...

Materials
 You don't need very many materials for this project. With the materials listed below you can make several slingshots.

10' 1/2'' PVC pipe-$1.50
1/2" PVC end cap-$0.25
1/2" PVC T connector-$0.25
2 1/2" 90 degree connector-$0.25 each
Pack of large rubber bands-$1.00
Roll of duct tape-$5.00

I had all of these materials lying around my house. You might, but they're very cheap if you don't. Now, on to the fun part.

the joins of the pvc maybe better glued with pvc cement for a stronger and more cleaner design

the bands should be made of surgical tubing aswell
