It varies a bit from dart to dart, but 10-17 ft. is about the average. It's a pretty stable platform, so the harder you blow, the better.

he sounds familiar because he's the guy who likes to make fun of other peoples instructables. it must be his sick, twisted entertainment to know that he's negatively influencing someone out of reach, someone who can't strike back in any physical sense. personally austin, i think you should lay off other peoples ideas and start having more of your own.

austin in reply to LithoboliApr 3, 2007. 10:20 AM

yea what are you talking about i rarely flame people and i have made and instuctable before

tomc3uk in reply to LithoboliOct 2, 2006. 2:07 PM

Hey, he only said that he doubted it would kill anyone, he didn't say that the instructable sucked. I doubt they'd kill, but I wouldn't volunteer to stand in front of one. And Lithoboli, you haven't even got one Instructable up!

nice job but i make a paper dart and put a pin in it

6

paper warrior (author) in reply to yellow elephantMar 29, 2007. 7:29 PM

I've done that before, it gets less momuntem and is less destructive.

yellow elephant says: Mar 19, 2007. 10:54 PM

i just roll a paper dart and insert a needle in the front. also can put in either a straightened staple or a toothpick

i sort of doubt this is "enough to kill" unless it was poison tipped and you shot it directy into someone's brain while they were already at like 4hp. But it would probably hurt.

I think you should lay off the video games for a while. Humans don't have health points.

poison is a good idea i was talking about hitting veins and the sort

1ml hypodermics are good for this type of thing, check your local park...

I'm a bit confused, why are these so powerful? Does the match ignite, or is that just so it goes in the strw?

paper warrior (author) in reply to SCrid2000Sep 21, 2006. 11:11 AM

when you have a small straw the preesure is higher and they go pretty fast and carry that energy from thwe shot into the target.One time one of them went 1/4 inch into the 2x4 in the wall from 15 ft plus if you roll sand paper into a tube and use that it'll probably ignite but you have to put a lot of pressure in there. I'll try to get a vid of it next time

im sure you could flip the match and needle and tinfoild or something and make it actually launch.

6

paper warrior (author) in reply to AgentDannyDec 8, 2006. 11:35 AM

Like a matchstick rocket?

AgentDanny in reply to paper warriorDec 8, 2006. 12:05 PM

exactly. but with a speer point. maybey put some barbs on the end of it to make it particularly nasty

6

paper warrior (author) in reply to AgentDannyDec 10, 2006. 8:54 PM

Or exploding paint. (insert evil grin)

AgentDanny in reply to paper warriorDec 10, 2006. 10:32 PM

super glue a .6 mm air soft paint ball to it.

paper warrior (author) says: Oct 13, 2006. 5:17 PM

And i don't think you went overboard at all.

6

paper warrior (author) says: Oct 13, 2006. 5:16 PM

I'm not really a fan of austin.

Lithoboli says: Oct 12, 2006. 1:06 AM

and yes, i'll admit i went a little overboard with the whole "sick and twisted" spiel.

Lithoboli says: Oct 12, 2006. 1:04 AM

i do lots of uneccessary things. like even bothering to stand up for other people...

austin says: Sep 21, 2006. 7:12 PM

yea the whole killing thing is pretty doubtful it reminds me of when i was a kid and we used to be like woah thats enough to kill a person if you hit them right in the vein or temple.oooo

paper warrior (author) in reply to austinSep 21, 2006. 7:19 PM

i dont know why but u sound familiar

6

paper warrior (author) says: Sep 20, 2006. 8:35 PM

Please be careful and only use these on targets.

paper warrior (author) in reply to paper warriorSep 20, 2006. 10:08 PM

Squirrels aren't targets.
