Pencil Guns

Ok......I just found out one of the funnest things to do with mechanical pencils......you make guns with them!!! Not real guns, but the pencils shoot pretty hard. Heres how to do it.......

1. Get a mechanical pencil, one of the kinds that you puch on the eraser to make lead come out.

2. Next you pull off the black cone thing, that covers the lead.

3. You get a staple out of a stapler.

4. Pull the little ring, or round cone thing down on the pencil where the lead comes out.

5. That will open up the two little "fingers" you the get the staple, (make sure that one of the ends is round)

6. Then you put the staple in the two little fingers, (make sure you dont put in the big gap, you put it in as if you were gonna make a cross witth the gap and the staple)

7. Aim, then pull back on the eraser part.

8. It should shoot.....Have fun!!

if you still can't figure it out, i'll post pics, as soon as i set up my webcam.
