Step 4: Loading The Shooter

To load the Q-Tip, put it in on the other side and use something to ram it down. (I use the ink cartridge from the pen.) Then when the rubberband begins to stretch, take the Q-Tip on the other side and pull it out. The frther you pull the faster and harder the Q-Tip will shoot but the chances of the rubberband breaking increase. (Obviously, let go to fire.)

if you use it as a match shooter and put the match scratcher thing that lights the match, then you could shoot fire!

Well, at my birth, I created man and the universe.
What you say, God did that? I told him to take the credit for it so I could act like a 2 year old and reply to all these comments.
