me and my friends made one froma post it note and staples then we strung like 7 rubber bands together and on the bus 2 people sitting across from easch other held it and i pulled it back, i pulled it about the length of 3 seats and let it go, almost hit some girl at the front of the bus (and we were like 3 or 4 seats from the back) kept going and left a small crack in the bus windsheild, luckily he never found out who did it and he didnt have camera on bus yet so we were lucky

so i would say just roll a post-it note up tightly and put staples in it is pretty good if it can shoot across the bus and put a small crack in the windsheild, i sure of hell wouldnt want to be shot by it lol

We call them Hornets here.

If you put a thumb tack in the end the kind with the flat end it hurts like crap.

I had a box of these things in my binder last year, and a wrist rocket band /w/ leather pouch attached to the side of mu binder. I shot an eraser through the curtain on the stage at like 50 yards.

I took paper clips, then bend them until they break in half, leaving two u-shapes.

those flew really well, and my friend chrono'd one at like 300 fps.

another claimed 350-400, but that sounds a little sketchy.

I shot a pencil through two pop cans, and a folder. a folder full with 5 months worth of paper.

done with those suckers, now that I'm a freshmen, I just "play" with the vending machines. :wink:

*cough* 25 cents for four pops *cough*

Well I can't think of anything that wouldn't hurt with a thumbtack in it.

kids used to get kicked out of school for doing those all the time...the high school changed the policy here as someone got hit in the eye with one and a parent went after the school about it...
