“Everything ingenious is simple!” - Joseph Gelbbes
Today we will make an ordinary slingshot, small in size, but from this its capabilities only increase! It can be easily clenched in a fist, it is very invisible, and in order to shoot you don’t have to wave your hands and attract the attention of teachers! And by the way, it is powerful (for its size): shells cauterize or quietly fly through the entire class (these characteristics depend on the number of elastic bands).
From personal experience:
Studying in 8 “B” I decided to shoot one not very friendly classmate in physics ... I missed two times and got into her neighbor ... I was beaten in the middle of a physics lesson and ran to memorization ...: angry:
My weapons burned only once. The head teacher saw me spinning shells in algebra and removed all my slingshots. But I do not despair, a skein of wire stuck at home!
Having tied together about 5 gum we get a cruel weapon: after the second shot, the enemy surrenders and offers to fight together against someone else! : am:
Materials:
- A large paper clip (or just 2 mm wire)
- Rubber bands for weaving (the whole trick is to use them, they are the best option, another rubber will not work)
- Pliers (optional)
Manufacture:
Take a large paper clip, unbend it and bend it again, but in half:
Now we make a twisted handle (optional) and rubber mounts (leave a gap of 0.5 mm):
And the hardest part for stupid dials: putting on an elastic band. First, we stick in the rubber band for weaving as a whole, then we pull down one part of the rubber band. And repeat for the other end of the slingshot. It’s best to tie several elastic bands together, then the effect will be much stronger! (But due to the complexity of photographing this process, I will not show it)
Now let's take care of the shells: ordinary office trash will not work! We take a piece of paper and fold it this way: (the heavier and smoother the better)
Total:
We have created a weapon that can revive the boring lessons of geography! Weaving from gum? A crazy and useless girl’s business, another thing is to shoot from a slingshot! Shoot rubber bands? They instantly end, and the papers in the school heaps! We also sometimes collect shells after lessons (take care of nature, your mother
) This also reduces costs. In labor lessons, we sometimes make slingshots and sell to the lower grades! This is a source of income!Here are my other wire slingshots (one with double elastic):
