during the knife part i sliced my pinky open but great instructable

[Revan_Taros]

I did the same thing trying to make the bic bow and arrow crossbow.

[imBobertRobert]

ouch. i did that with my thumb, but it was cause i accidentaly left it next to my alarm clock so imagine my surprise when i stabbed my thumb! that really woke me up!

[Jarheadicus]

Your all lowercase, grammatically incorrect, pitiful attempt at sharing your own pitiful fail at turning off an alarm clock cancels out the exclamation marks. Also, you shouldn't use pronouns without using an antecedent is one of the most "face-palm" worthy action that you will do in your short pitiful little human life...

Now, since there is a "be nice" comment policy, have a great rest of your life.

Hi,
What i did was first i created a slit, then fit a small filer in there just file away the plastic, once the slot is just big enough, id use the knife again to shave the edges.

[jeiy]

i'ma having a hard time making the slot wide, any suggestions???

i just realized, that could double as an auto loader magazine :P

so you pull down the lever all the way and lock it, fill it up with bb's, attach the top part to a compatible gun's feeder, unlock it, and that way it can auto reload a gun. ofc. such gun would require quite some work to make, but it is possible and it would be quite epic (i guess a type of bolt action could be modified to work with this. all you'd have to do is make sure that where the BB's enter from there is a small "trap" kinda thingi which would stop the BB from sliding right out, and the spring would have to have a cover so that as you pull on the bolt a BB doesn't get stuck in the spring, thats about all, and it should work)

i just cutted it as straight as i could. you could draw a line on what u want to cut with a texta

[Revan_Taros]

did you just say cutted?

[blackchrisboy]

WOW! I had this ame idea like 2 months back. Well good instructable, its alo t better than the other pen guns.

[blackchrisboy]

Except I glued a screw to the inktube instead of an ink tube.

[superhornt]

the theory behind this gun is good, but i epic failed and wasted 4 pens because i couldnt get the firing mechanism/charging handle attatched correctly, and the springs slipped out of place all the time. it never actually shot any of my ammo.

[rstdnm]

 omg... the "charge" mech. is simple yet soo cool. awesome. I'm gonna try to make this thing.. best pen gun design ive found...

[CaseBoy]

 i love it the instructions where a little confusing you should sat that the blue guard has the writing piece right next 2 it.
