How far do the Q-tips fly?

[lego lover 898]

how far can it shoot

[yapoyo]

this step is hard.

Indeed, I reccomend using the plastic q-tips because they are hollow. But, I'll tell you how I did it with a normal one. I simply took a thumbtack and pushed the sharp piece into the q-tip then removed it. Then just wedge the toothpick in the hole you made. Hope this helps man :)

My dad refuses to buy the plastic kind, and my q tips are totally rock solid, so now i officially give up on this project.

dollar store will get you a large box 500+ of hollow plastic Q tips for $1

this is cool, bu you copied from the book Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction 2. Just saying.

I have found many other ibles from that book on this website, and yes, if you look below, you can see I got this idea from that book, but mine is not entirely the same. Have a good day!

It's all good bro :)

Off topic but...

I see you used iMovie to edit your video. But I do not have that theme. Where did you get it from?

[trans4mation]

Well first off, it was the iMovie on my iPhone (I'm not sure if it's different much from on a computer), second, it was in the newest update of iMovie, and third, it was under the trailers option, not traditional movie of movie. Hope this helps! :)

At video editing software did you use for the intro vid?

[trans4mation]

Hello good sir :) I have a few different video editing softwares, but this specific one was from iMovie on my iphone, I figured it would be easy since I already had the video on my phone. Have a nice day!

[Adambowker98]

Wow! I didn't realize iMovie could do that kind of stuff! Especially on the iPhone! Thanks!

[trans4mation]

Yeah it's pretty neat and handy for a phone, I reccomend it. No problem though bro, always happy to help! Have a good one!

Great instructions but this is the EXACT SAME model made in John Austin's Book; Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction 2. http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Weapons-Mass-Destruction-Arsenal/dp/1569767165

P.S. if you buy the cheap plastic bendy Q-tips they are hollow inside and you can just slide in the toothpicks which is much easier.

[trans4mation]

I have modified a few things on mine so it is not exactly the same, but I did get the main idea from him. I am a huge fan of his books :)
