office supply crossbow

after finding how to make a bow and arrow out of office suplies here, i came up with an idea to build a crossbow, and it works great!! sorry if the pics arent that great(please dont shoot it at someone and get me in trouble)
p.s. this is my 1st instructable

Step 1 Materials that i used

1.rubber band (the stronger the better)
2. hollowed-out pen
3. krazy glue and tape (glue isnt needed, but it helps)
4. razor or scissors
5. clothing pin
6.dental flosser (not floss itself, but the handled flosser)
Ok, so the last 2 arent "office supplies", but they still are common household items, and you can always improvise.

For those who actually notice, you can save yourself some work in cutting the dental flosser if you happen to buy the reach brand flossers with the reusable handle (or just buy the floss bow replacement pack).

would be nice if you added a firing mechanism on this thing. as in a trigger and not pull/push with the hand.

[daggon]

how do you fire this?

[legalize_it]

by pushing up on the string when its pulled back and stuck at the end of the clothespin, or just by pulling back and letting go of the string
