Topic: Destruction

[SpecialeEdd]

The rules of the game: Make the most destructive office tool using the least amount of common office/school materials.  Post a picture!

I made a crossbow using 2 paper clips, a rubber band, a book sock, and a pencil. Pen caps for ammo. Ill throw a picture up when i get a cord for my digital camera.

I rewired a microwave to work with the door off.


Oh yes. Come get your cancer baby.

Thats not an office tool...your looking for the  "death and destruction with a side of cancer" thread

I made a trebuchet out of about 4 or 5 paper clips that could fire pennies about 2 meters.

haha thats awesome

Edit: Can you explain how?

[roger]

I don't have it anymore, but basically here's how:

1. Make two A shaped frames out of  three paperclips.  Two for each long side of the A, joined by a little loop at the top and one halfway down for structural support.  Make all your joints by little loops in the paperclips.

2. Join the two tops of the As with a long stretched out paperclip.  

3. Tape the feet to a piece of paper or cardboard for stability.

4. Make the arm with a large strecthed out paperclip.  Put the loop that it will pivot on at about 1/4 the way along.  Tape to the short end a stack of about 10 pennies.  Put a little bit of a hook on the long end.

5. tape a still close paperclip to a penny so that you have a little loop to put on the hook.  

6. Put the projectile on the arm hook, pull back and let it fly.  You'll probably need to hold the legs or it tends to fall over.

I guess that's a lot more than 4 paperclips.

I made a small blowgun by taking the ends off of a Bic pen, and some blowgun darts out of some unusually long pushpins with small heads, and paper cones for fletching.

Despite the short barrel, I could easily embed the darts in a plaster wall.

[Grayven]

I guess that works, but im not looking for long term effects let me rephrase this :Non lethal

So I can't aim my blowgun at the neck or eyes?
