Insert a strike anywhere match into the main body of the pen. Assemble the pen. It is armed and ready to deploy.
Pull out on the striker and release. The match will ignite and smolder in the pen tube releasing a sulfur cloud of smoke. Throw it at the ground and run from your enemy!
(I do not have video of the pen in action because my matches are old and do not work....oops....sorry)
AGAIN I MUST STRESS THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE AND INJURY DEVICE. KIDS, TAKE PRECAUTIONS AND DO THIS WITH PARENTAL PERMISSION AND SUPERVISION!
