you know the the typical school and office battles with the paperballs and, stuff like that. since we all make guns out of house hold items I'm sure your also the one to raise the stakes and make some stronger firepower, like using paper wasp or something better

So What kind of stuff have you guys made?
i made these http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/pencil- ... t5263.html
its a little cheap since its premade rather than made from nothing

I also replaced some wasp with bent staples, they hurt like a betch and since the're so small there extra stealthy people don't see what hit them, were it came from, and even wonder if something hit them but it makes a snaping noise if you miss and hits certian surface like a book bag or poster other cons are the difficulty to aim and trace
I've got some other tricks what are your's

well a lot of my friends are too "mature" :roll: to bother having 'fun'
but when they say "your being so immature" I simply say "then why are you shooting back"

triple rubber band wasp. the wasp was in the shape of a right triangle, fashioned out of aluminum foil.

Needless to say, it broke skin. Bad.

Take a mechanical pencil, and unscrew the tip so the lead feed system is open. Bend a staple so it's a slim and straight metal rod. Open the 2 prongs on the feed system by holding back the ring sealing them together back, and stick the staple in the gap. Now, aim the pencil at somone, and pull back the button that activates the mechanism. The staple should fly about 8 feet or so, and it hit the target with the point. Hurts pretty bad, but takes some practice setting up.
Also, you can use a balpoint pen as a blowgun and make your own light darts.
Nothing packing much punch, but they are fun, easily concealable, and disguisable.

I've made more than one pencil shooter. You can get some pretty good distance with those things. I did a mini catapult once, involving some popsicle sticks and a rubber band.
Kthx, BAI

can't quite get this to work I keep breaking my mechanical pencils

a fun thing is to take a mechanical pen spring and make a pin ball style gun for bbs, you can make it look just like a pen but its not that powerful but a good stealth thing to impress, annoy, or confuses your friends

another thing is to use one of the party popper string things and rig it to inside a pen to shoot 6mm bbs, or q-tip darts

Gauss guns FTW :):)
Never know what hit 'em:)

I really want to post mine but I need to get a few more photoflash capacitors to see if I can boost the power any more.

paper air planes are fun... although it is easy to tell who threw it. never thought of shooting paper clips hmm, maybe monday :twisted: i wish i could have a thing like the pneumatic pen gun, that would be freaking awsome to have, just peg some kid in the back of the head with that thing hahaha i tried making one, but failed before i started.
trying to decide on a new project, probably something small.

Me and a few mates had paper-clip wars in the school cafeteria a few years back. Stole the clips and elastic bands from teachers and shot a sh!t load at each other. We bent them into a sort of "f" shape so we could hold them better to get more draw-back on the elastic band. I did get one stuck through my finger, but that didn't stop us.

I also took a mini-combustion into school to plink around with. Was fun shooting pencil rubbers across the class-room, but I can't exactly say that was very covert. Especially when it blew up on the field. The whole field heard it.
