Introduction: Toothpick Shooter
In this Instructable I will show you how to make a toothpick shooter...
yes, I did not invent this... but, I modified it so it is simpler for you out there to make it
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH THE SHOOTER
Step 1: Things You Need:
1) Razor knife
2) Tape (any kind)
3) Clothespin
Step 2: Preparations
Start off by splitting the clothespin and marking it as shown
Then cut out your marks with the Razor knife, but only one should have the jack
Step 3: More Preparations
now create a corner right about where im showing in the pic
Step 4: Creating the Barrel
now create the barrel... i guess that you understand what you should do from the pics
Step 5: Get It Together!
now tape it all together!!
Step 6: Adding the Spring
now just slide the spring on and youre almost set
Step 7: Fire!
Cut one end from a toothpick - Tada! Ammo!
Pusth the flat end into the barrel, until the spring snaps into the notch.
Happy Shooting!
