Introduction: Bic Rocket Launcher
Today: a rocket launcher made out of a bic mechanical pencil.
Tomorrow: mini warheads
Step 1: Gather Materials
you'll need;
a bic mecanical pencil,
some scotch tape,
thread or other fuse,
propellent(I used match heads,
and a vice grip or
other means of breaking off the cap
Step 2: Crack It Open
Break off the cap and anything in it (after removing the grip)then pull out the led cartridge.
Step 3: Final Assembly
Tape the cap to the part where the eraser used to be and put the grip in the clip as a sight or grip.(optional)it should look like the second image
Step 4: Final Prep
insert a 4 or so in. long piece of thread in the hole in the back of the ammo then put in your propellent of choice.Matcheads work fine especially if you crush them into a powder.
Step 5: Troubleshooting
you can't figure out how to fire it:the cat is smarter than you
you want to sue me:for what you did all on your own?
you are bored:get lost

Of, and yes. I have found that the photo is perfectly clear. I do not know about you. Sarcasm is not very appreciated, you don't seem to know that,do you?

Sarcasm is the worst sense of humor. This does not apply to me.

I recommend the "macro" setting on your camera. It will be represented with a little flower icon and is most helpful in focusing on close-up objects.

I like using copper pipe with one end flattened down and a hole drilled in it it works fine.

Try keeping your face away from the exaust. The rocket will not explode...

any other possible prjectiles asides from cap? how to load it?
Reply 15 years ago on Introduction
Yeah, as long as you keep it a little bit nose heavy. You can use a piece of wax on the end for practice rounds. This has the benefit of being formable to an ogive.
