How to Build a Pencil Crossbow

Sweet! Reminds me of an office I worked in. The company was going down the tubes and there were only three of us left in the office, with not enough work to do. A length of (I believe) 3/4-inch Sch. 80 PVC, push pins, and post-it notes and we were taking out empty soda cans from 20 feet with our kick-butt improvised blowgun. Don't ever mess with bored engineers!

If I caught people making stuff like that in my office.................... I would be so happy they would all get a pay rise. :thumbup:

But thay are all too busy trying not to get grabbed using MSN and their cell phones to do cool stuff like that. :grumpy:

When I worked in cubicle land, I shot so many rubber bands and other projectiles at my co-workers that I knew the exact spots on the drop ceiling to shoot where it would bounce off and hit everyone around me in the head. We had quite a few rubber band wars on slow days...

do a google search on "office weapons". You're not the only one wasting office supplies.

Fire extinguisher fights were great!

When my director asked why there were so many fire extinguisher refills taking place, I told him that it was due to the first responder firefighting techniques I was teaching all the staff.

He was really impressed and gave me a pay rise!

Careful with the office supplies projectiles. True story. I had a office job and my office was next the the purchaser's office. Our offices where way in the back separated by the working shop floor from the main office. We had little to no supervision. Long story but the not so bright who seemed drunk all the time broom pusher guy shot the purchaser in the eye with a rubber band. I had to take him to the hospital and also had to give a safety meeting on the dangers of projectiles. I no longer work there. I believe the broom pusher was fired some time later and the guy who got the rubber band in the eye tried to sued the company to go out on full disability.

I got nailed in the eye with a thick rubber band from about 18" away execution style...

Office wars are serious business
