I used to make these a long time ago. Mine shot airsoft though. the littlge guy hurts too. I'll see if i can make another to post here. It'll take a while though. I need to go home from college cause I'm not going to make it here.

Neat little thing, though I cringed as he used the box cutter towards his fingers, accident waiting to happen :?

Used to make those when I was a kid. Only thing was that we didn't shoot toothpicks, we shot "strike anywhere" matches. Very fun/cool.

That would be against the incendiary projectiles rule :roll: :)

I made these some years ago, I even got one to shoot a toothpick with a glued needle in the tip.. it could stick to stuff from 15 feet away or so :P also you could put caps, the caps that the little guns use and glue it on the tip of the toothpick, shoot a wall and it would go BANG :lol: 8)

Doesn't come close to the pen guns for power but I like the way it's made without hardly any additional materials other than the clothes peg.

Clearly, you were holding the box cutter the wrong way :roll: :D
