ultimate paper dart

this is the ultimate paper dart hands down. i make these every once in a while and when i do somebody gets hurt. seriously dont aim these at people's face eyes or privates (all you guys out there).

*warning* not to be taken lightly these can and will hurt

i had fun doing this and i hope to hear good comments

Step 1 What you need

this is a very simple process all you will need is...

1 piece of paper (2 for extra hardness but 3 pieces wont allow you to bend it finish it)
ability to roll tight a piece of paper
2 hands
1 brain

[bumpus]

they're not called "paper darts" or "v-darts" they're called paper hornets b/c it hurts like a hornet sting duh

[saquatchman]

Well bumpus you to are wrong with the name they are actually called paper wasps.

[clonetrooper13]

WRONG! hornets are a inch or so in length, bumblebees are about 1/4-1/2 and inch and are really thick, wasps are long ones:2 inches or more.

[saquatchman]

Well bumpus you to are wrong with the name they are actually called paper wasps.

[nutsandbolts_64]

Well, saquatchman, you too are wrong, because the name is different from area to area (in reality, they don't exist in my part of the world).

[ich bin ein pyro]

anyway the point still remains

[yeolddingdong]

this is ultimate in no way the ultimate hornet is one i made a folded tin can with needle in its tip

[Frindledon3]

We had to have a huge assembly at my school because some kids did this. And plus this kid took a pin and started stabbing people. Bad idea. if a teacher catchs you with a rubber band, you get sent the office at my school

[dungeon runner]

This is definitely on my list of favorite paper weapons.

[yellow elephant]

i have used 5 papers before.

[shadowfox009]

WTF

[claydude3001]

thats impossible...mythbusters

[Gibson_SG_95]

im definately with you. plus it would me like an inch thick!

[Gibson_SG_95]

be, not me

[shadowfox009]

they are fun to launch at little kid buses (ones from the elementry school) they have no idea!!!!!!!!

[mynameischeese]

i dont have the second and third things, are there any subsistutes???

[cannadakid]

lol i had a giant war at school with these in 7th grade.(2 years ago) we were having giant battles at all times for almost 2 months. It was all fun until someone stuck a 3 inch needle through the tip. Ya 6 kids suspended in 1 day lol and universal school detention for a day. Ahh but well worth it in the long run

[ladiesman247]

im a 12 yr old kid. and ofcourse a guy of my age would b in to this kinda stuff. im am onna kill my friends tomorrow iwth these LOL!!!!! thanx for uploading and great instructable!!!!!!

[gonzoman73]

ok...

[office rogue]

nice instructable me and my friends have wars wit these all the time.... i know my principle pretty well... these are the kinds i make, but i like to do it with a 3 by 5 note card and just roll it into that shape. it works really well.

[caseyjonez]

alright I gave up and used a vice grip, I clamped it and tightened, Works great. Also it will have so much pressure it shot up and hit my ceiling.

[caseyjonez]

i made one with 2 sheets of paper and it's impossible to fold, I'm still working on it

[LightningCrash]

wrap the ends with tape to keep them from falling apart. the tape that photographers use to tape film to a leader for processing work fantastic. longer wings stabilize the trajectory somewhat, as well. i usually end up cutting strips from a sheet of letter paper. never tried legal, but i'm sure the results would be even better.

[The Lord Of Hurt]

these things hurt like f**k. my friend shot one with a VERY strong rubber band. it bounced off the wall and nailed me in the back of my head. had a bump/bruise for hours.

[Tyler713247]

I shot one of these at my friend with a sling shot and he started to cry

[Whaleman]

i like these, but my school banned rubber bands in general instant detention if i get caught with a rubberband

[znelson710]

me 2 what skool did u go to that banned them i went to seabrook intermediate skool

[ich bin ein pyro]

that sucks

[znelson710]

you can fold a staple in half and fire it and it will draw blood.. ive done b4 and i put a paper clip on one and it stuk in some1's shirt i also just made an instructable like this one but i call it the Birdie

[e-hizzle]

i just made this and shot my little sister she cried for like 10 minutes i shot myself it hurt like hell

[ich bin ein pyro]

yea they have that effect

[v-dartmaker]

I have a instructible on these. I havnt added this to the instructible yet but you can make better darts with either skinny card board(a cracker box or cereal) or really killer oones with metal(a pop can)

[knowitallnewbie]

At my school its called tacos. I like making them small so they sting(not bruise). Also the teacher cant really see them "GO"

[ich bin ein pyro]

also thats the fun firing it without the teacher seeing. we fire them when the teachers out or when she/hes not looking

[ich bin ein pyro]

i like to fire these at my sister (im mean) but not at full power these things at full power with 3 rubber bands end-to-end will sting like if you got shot
