Simple Bic Mechanical Pencil Gun

This is a very simple gun that you can make out of Bic mechanical pencils. Its a little different from
beam's mechanical pencil gun and black hole fun's. We used to make these all the time in middle school and shoot each other in class. Just thought I'd bring some old school fun back to the adult world.

Also there's one of my favorite stingers if you really want to inflict damage.

I feel I should also put a disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage or injury caused by this. Please do not shoot people in the face. What you do with this is on you.

Step 1 Get things together

Alright you'll need:

1 Bic mechanical pencil
1 rubber band, preferably smaller than the one I got.
Knife and/or scissors perhaps pliers.

I need one of these. Paper wasps are nice, but horribly inaccurate.

[northernmagnet]

lol so you tell them ill just get to the point if you guys are having a arguement

[kaboom97]

Ok first thing you might not want to make this at school and use metal bbs for ammo lol figured that out the hard way (princable office) sorry spelt that bad but who cares and if you do I'm sorry okkk ga

[jackojack12]

I shot my foot! :(
But great classroom weapon! :)

[samando]

I have recenntly made this gun, however, because the ramrod is sticking out slightly, you can put it up to someone's soulder and fire it! (without the ammo), using the right type of rubber band, it really hurts

[Kapower]

nice, long range and melee, 2 in 1!

[mappum]

put a little bit of duct tape around the edge of the end of the tube(on the opposite side of the barrel) and it will make it a little quieter and better for a classroom :P

[Kapower]

or you could use some foam that you could glue on.

[AWESOME9802]

I'll try that, but won't it clog up the barrel?

[bigfootduck]

lol. thats true! ill have to use that in math....

[deterville]

freaking awesome!

[Air_Assassin]

optional:1 : use a pen barrel 2: use a copper bb 3: for the pen barrel use a plastic bb p.s. not trying to be mean just an option

[Samek_1]

i shaved my gun too much and it snapped :(
WASTE

[MajorBromley]

[nicktl]

[will772]

 GRATZ! i finally found a way to get back at my teacher without getting caught! kudos to you my friend!

[rcharles]

I'm going to do this in spanish class this will be fun !!!!

[striker187]

Note to self: use EXACT same type of pencil as in pics.
I used a matic grip one and the long part wont fit down the barrel even with a lot of shaving

[Dr.Squirrel]

Adult?

[Mr.turtle]

You can put a little cut into the top of the clip at a slanted angle so it holds the rubber band in better. Worked for me.

[darktooth]

Also, you can put a cut in the erasor and wedge the rubber band in it

[Colonel88]

I like the idea for the Pointy Ammo.
