heh. anyone actually got one?
(they are illegal here)

someone here got me interested a while back and i tracked down some neat videos of them in action.

I've been tellin' yall, all along...

I used to have one when I was a kid. Ordered it out of the back of Soldier of Fortune magazine. it came with a do-it-yourself dart making kit. You'd cut the rod to the length you wanted, then heat it up and plunge it into a plastic bead. We started experimenting with longer than recommended darts with multiple beads on the end. I remember being able to completely penetrate a piece of half inch plywood with those things. They are truly dangerous and very very accurate. you could easily wax an unsuspecting bird with it. Wish I still had it.

Bwhahaha

lol. crazy stuff pun.

Yep, they're insanely evil. We just used the beads to tag people. Not as accurate, but omg.. the welts.

If you are interested, here's link to where you can buy them (and see the different types made:

I remember making pretty dangerous projectiles out of a hair clip, rubber band, and straw... They wouldn't penetrate plywood very well, but they could stick a soft-barked tree pretty well at close range... their main problem was accuracy.

We used to make pretty deadly projectile weapons out of a triangular architechts scale, blue pencil lead, scotch tape, and a rupper band.

The thing would create enough power to bury itself a few inches deep into a wall.

I made a weapon out of paper and scotch tape capable of firing 20 feet with pinpoint accuracy and hard enough to cut you.

You guys all related to MacGuyver?

I remember my first blowgun. We used a straw and some chewed up paper on the bus driver!!!!

I once made a weapon out of a pen, a rubber band, and some bbs.

It fired fast enough to penetrate bark from 20 feet away and was very precise. Now that I think about it, it might be a good idea to make another one.

After the store closes (I work at Staples) and we've got nothing better to do, we take those mini sharpies and insert a rubber band into the clip. Those things are accurate, but not really painful, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Made several blowguns as kids, usually out of in-line straws, a needle and some thread. But, that got old after a while, ya know, using our lungs, so...

We bought a high power CO2 rifle and loaded our home made blow darts in that.

1/2", pffft. These suckers would go through 1/2" of plywood and about halfway into a 2x4. heh.
