This is a mini ballistic knife I made from office supplies. The only non-office part would be the toothpicks. Pros - Easy to get supplies Cons - 5-7 foot range (or around 1.5 - 2 meters) - 'knife' will spin out after 5 feet

This is simple. Cut the inner tube of the mechanical pencil as shown. Then insert the back piece of the ink cartridge into the top of the pencil piece. Then push the knife into the body and hold it down and score it where opening begins and ends. Then cut out a piece of the plastic between the scores to get a hole for the trigger.

If you made the paperclip piece in the body step that is your trigger. If not make. It from the picture above. Now follow the pictures to load the knife into the body. To fire push the pin forward or if the pin turns on its side pull it. Alternate method: Put the pin in on its side and turn it towards you. Please rate, comment, and don't shoot at peoples faces.
