Introduction: Toothpick Shooter
This is a simple toothpick shooter you can make. You probably have everything you need in your house. If you do it right, it can shoot about 20 meters.
Step 1: Gather Materials
As I said, most of the materials and tools you probably already have. I found that a hand pump is better than a foot pump, but I couldn't find the hand hand pump that I used to use.
Materials:
1. pump
2. index card
3. toothpick
Tools:
1. scissors
Step 2: Prepare Index Card
Use the scissors to cut the index card in half vertically.
Step 3: Break Toothpick
The title is pretty self explanatory, but in case you didn't figure it out, you should BREAK THE TOOTHPICK IN HALF!
Step 4: Roll Index Card
Roll the index card around the paper clip, be sure to do it tight.
Step 5: Put Index Card Into Pump
Stuff the index card into the pump, make sure it is tight. You can adjust with scissors and extra card.
Step 6: Load & Shoot
Jam the toothpick into the hole in the index card. Aim and pump to shoot

you can also use some spray paint or mini gas tank or stuff like that. be careful if you use gas though, use it in a well ventilated space and try not to set anything on fire.
