is it ok if you use silly bands?

Err, the paper looks kinda of like a bag of weed. Other than that irrelevant comment, I tried making it and it's not half bad for your first one. I've seen quite a few pen guns here and there and this one is alright compared to them. Great work!

I don't get the idea of the gun. Other pen guns are much more simpler and cooler looking, no offense.

It's a cool gun but I don't get it

Mar 8, 2009. 6:10 PMsam_the_man999 says:

Be careful with these things in the classroom. Last year a guy in my class was trying to get a pencil stuck in the ceiling tile with one and he hit a sprinkler... Flooded 1/4 of the school, ruined a shitload of books, 4 computers, peoples clothing (there was black stuff in the sprinkler system)... Got school cancelled for a day, and he got suspended for about a week. I mean its great if you don't get caught.. but...

Apr 1, 2008. 2:57 PMrocketsforfun says:

I modified this to shoot straight down the middle of a hollowed out pen tube and it burrows about 2-3 inches into an apple

Apr 1, 2008. 2:59 PMrocketsforfun says:

Jul 24, 2008. 11:27 AMcodongolev says:

You might want to spell check this Instructable, but other than that great idea, I can't wait to try this.

step 3:puting it together-1
attach the rubber band to the pen (YOU HAVE TO DO IT LIKE IN THE PICTURE)by raping the rubber band

Jun 16, 2008. 10:46 PMruiqim says:

Don't rape a rubber band! It's not nice! You might hurt its feelings! Plus, you can get arrested for raping a rubber band!

Mar 20, 2008. 12:23 PMiwannalazerlulz says:
