The Pen Crossbow

In this post i am going to teach you how to make a pen crossbow. All you will need is duct tape, two pens, scissors and a rubber band. The supplies are pictured below.


1. First thing you'll need to do is disassemble your pens till you are left with to hollow tubes, one of which will be your barrel. 

2. Now take your barrel of the gun and tape it in an, "X" over the other pen casing, like this.


3. Next cut your rubber band in half.

4. Tape one end of the rubber band to on side of the crosspiece on your gun, and the other side of the band on the other side of the crosspiece. Like pictured. Tape it fairly tight, but not too tight just use your judgment
.
5. You will use the pen inserts the ink part for the dart, tape both ends to prevent marking on walls and furniture, make sure and not put too much tape on or your bullet will not move freely through the barrel when fired.



6. Your Crossbow is finished use carefully, don't fire at people or animals, and have fun! :P
