Introduction: SIMPLE BUT COOL DART (PEN REFILL) SHOOTER!

About: Hey guys!!! I'm Gizmokid97! First of all, how's my profile pic? I drew it myself!!!! I love techy stuff and I love researching about it. I always like to take stuff apart and study how it works (skip the part…

FIRST OF ALL , DO NOT IN ANY CASE ,POINT IT AT ANY HUMANS, ANIMALS, INFANTS,ETC. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF KIDS BELOW 6 YEARS. DO NOT POINT AT THE EYES AS IT IS AN UNPREDICTABLE SHOOTER. POINT AWAY FROM BODY

*********************************************************************************************************************************************
THIS IS MY FIRST INSTRUCTABLE EVER. SO PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT IT. IF YOU THINK IT'S AWESOME, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TELL ME. IF YOU DON' THINK IT'S AWESOME, THEN I DON'T CARE.

Me and my buddy in school created this masterpiece in 6th grade. It's a dart shooter made from ONLY 3 MATERIALS!!!! (Including the ammo!!!) . I play target practice on a thermacole-made dart board ....... it is real fun!!!
The shooter is not VERY strong, or VERY accurate,but you can call this a boredom-buster!!!! Hope you like it!! (please give me any GOOD suggestions)
(P.S - the pics are not very clear , but you can get an idea of how to do it!!!)

Step 1: What You Need:

FOR THIS INSTRUCTABLE YOU WILL NEED :-
1) A gel pen refill (empty) [because  gel pen refills are thicker and we need thick refills for the ammo......if you have any other option,it's                      fine
2) A standard rubber band (medium-sized)
3) A compass/rounder which we use to draw circles.( DON'T use the fancy ones cuz we need a rounder with a small gap between the handle and the two arms)

Step 2: Insert the Ammo First:

Yeah , it's weird, but true. you have to insert  the ammo first.
1) As shown in the photo insert the refill through the hole where we attach the pencil.
2) The refill should be inserted tip-towards-handle.
3) Finally,insert the tip into the gap as shown in the picture.

Step 3: Attach the Rubber Band:

I have mentioned that you nee a medium-sized rubber band. but if you have a large one,it's okay.
FOR NORMAL-SIZED/SMALL BANDS:
Simply hook on the band.
FOR LARGE BANDS:
Wrap the band round the handle till it gives enough tension / power.

Step 4: Load Up Your Shooter....

Now for  loading  the ammo...
Stretch the rubber band and slide it over the refill as shown in the figure.
this may some time and needs some practice, but once you get the hang of it it's........................SHOWTIME!

Step 5: SHOWTIME!!!!

As shown in the figure, press the rounder's end downwards as if closing it , and......SKADOOSH!!!!!!! Your missile is off!!!
 If it doesn't work, then try changing the type of compass you are using .... it all depends on the gap size.
All The Very Best!
