MY GOD!!!! i tried one and its just scary ive never seen anything this fast, accurate, and powerful in my school. course i got confused by step 2 and made it with one bend instead of two when i fired it. i have no idea if two bends will make a difference

making a mass launcher for these things out of knex... probably suicidal to do so, but it'll be fun before i die in a swarm of flying metal.

why not just a "v" like normal hornets (double v i guess) more impact on the point and less drag through the air.. whatever

I naturally assumed that the second vertex in the metal-based organizer was utilized in better handling said projectile. *takes a puff from my bubble pipe* Lol. Big words. I guess you pull it back by the second bend?

Yeah, I agree on that too. More power = More pain :D

i love these metal hornets! my friend shot one at my teacher and missed his head by about an inch! thank god that happened cuz i had 4 of these hornets and a rubber band on my desk at that time

i agree making the 'z' shape would be accurate... yet at school in my testings firiing v vornets using a traiangular shaped paper clip or more effectively u bend nails.... using both rubber band strings not 1 creating a triangle which gives you more power... my test fired through a piece of light cardboard from 5 meters...me and my mates got a quite good aime with a usal miss on approx 1cm... this is just my oppinion but your way sounds good

yeah use like a trading card or somthing shoots very well

i think any trading card folded small will work and can mass produce easily

this is pretty cool,but id recomend the v hornet though. because the v hornet is more accurate and powerful,i used to shoot birds while there flying,thats just how accurate it is. :)frikin sweet(:
