Prepping the Pen

First of all you want to take apart your pen...
- Start by removing the cap (Duh..)
- Then use your teeth to remove the top part holding in the ink.
- Finally use you teeth to remove the end cap at the bottom
- Discard the cap (or keep it), all you will need is the ink, and the tube
alternatively you can use pliers.

Prepping the Elastic

The only thing you need to do to get the elastic ready is to break it.
Done!

Putting it together is easy...

- First Take the tube and tape the elastic to it. (Picture 1) (Make it strong)
- Then Pull the loop over one of the open ends of the elastic (Picture 2)
- Now you are ready to fire!


TIP: The more tension on the elastic, the stronger it will be.

FIRING!
