How Do You Make A Pen Gun With A Trigger?
Most people have heard of pen or pencil guns with a rubber band. This one doesn’t use rubber-bands, is low maintenance, and it has a “trigger” so you can hold fire with less likeliness of accidental slipping. All you need for this particular pen gun is about 2-4 “clickie” pens, a paperclip, and a pair of pliers to bend the paperclip. • Empty out the contents of the pen (ink, springs, and both ends). Don’t throw away the writing end of the pen or the spring. Repeat this step with all of the pens. • Gather together 1-3 more springs from the other pens. • Bend the paperclip to the point where it is straight enough to fit through the writing end of the pen. • Bend a section of the end 360 degrees so that there is a loop in the paperclip. The loop has to be about the same size as the springs’ diameter. • Adjust it where the unlooped end of the paperclip can fit through the writing end at least a good four inches and the looped end can fit down the “barrel”, or tubed section of the pen with
Improve an old style pen gun by adding a trigger to shoot even further than before. The pen gun with a trigger is a novelty item not meant to be used as a weapon or inflict harm on people or animals. Have fun with creative use of pens and pencils, but use with caution. Disassemble a capped pen and two mechanical pencils. Set aside the pen’s outer tube and cap as well as the inner tubular sticks from the mechanical pencils. Discard the other pieces. Using a knife, cut the clip part and the top of the pen cap off. Drill a hole into one side of the pen cap close to where the clip was so that its large enough for the outer pen tube to fit through. Make two more smaller holes slightly off center into one side of the pen’s outer tube approximately ½ inch apart from each other. Cut one of the mechanical pencil’s inner tubes leaving the eraser end on just slightly longer than the pen cap. Wrap one rubber band around each of the mechanical pencils’ inner tubes just below the eraser. Assemble th
