Paperclip Bow and Q-Tip Arrows

Making a bow and arrow with a couple of paperclips, tape, and a rubber band. Get ready to fire off some Q-Tips.

From the bottle-smashing mind of Jesse Hensel.

Thanks to all the kids at Zeum for making these.

hey I know a other way to make a bow and arrow with 1 plain bic pen and sisors if you want to know reply.

[Applebohn]

YES!

[bubblebut]

the stuff u need is one rubber band, bic pen and sissors. first you need to make shure that the pen has a back that can be taken off and then you need to make shure it has a front bit that can be tooken off. now take apart then pen get rid of the back end but keep the rest. get the sissors and drill a hole in the middle of the pen. make sure the pen has this piece. now pop it into the hole in the middle. now make little notches in the top and bottem then put the rubber band in the noches. now get the ink thingie load it in the big end of the barrel and FIRE!!!. and by the way if you don't have top thing then get a piece of wood about the size of the hole and drill the insides out.

I added a second paperclip that was bent a little straighter than the first so I could string the rubber band tighter....It'll send a full length skewer 30 feet. Be sure to blunt the tip...with this little powerhouse we're talkin major putting of the eye outage here.

I had so much fun with this, I made some fancy arrows for it. http://www.instructables.com/id/E2491XNU2WEWZMJKND/

This works great with bamboo skeewers as ammo

[fungus amungus]

Yup, those work great, too. In fact, we ended up using those as well, but with the pointy bits cut off. The kid in the photo there is using one.

[Crash2108]

This almost looks like it was a school(or some other youth group) project, so yay for teaching kids to start making weapons.

[Lumpio-]

Yes, next they'll probably teach the kids horribly violent games such as tag! Oh, the horror.

[TheCheese9921]
