you’ll come up with something cool but
you’ll come up with something cool but when it comes to things like creativity
when it comes to things like creativity
when it comes to things like creativity you can’t put it in a box got a Ledge is
you can’t put it in a box got a Ledge is
you can’t put it in a box got a Ledge is a runnable

and then you’ll come up with something
and then you’ll come up with something there’s definitely some method to my
there’s definitely some method to my
there’s definitely some method to my madness but I haven’t figured it out yet
madness but I haven’t figured it out yet

like it I love that this video would be
like it I love that this video would be like a half an hour long if I did show
like a half an hour long if I did show
like a half an hour long if I did show you step-by-step so I’m gonna just talk
you step-by-step so I’m gonna just talk
you step-by-step so I’m gonna just talk about the materials some of the
about the materials some of the
about the materials some of the different things you guys want me to
different things you guys want me to
different things you guys want me to maybe add into the final version because
maybe add into the final version because
maybe add into the final version because this is pretty cool you could probably
this is pretty cool you could probably
this is pretty cool you could probably put this on your wrist if you wanted to
put this on your wrist if you wanted to
put this on your wrist if you wanted to and it’s pretty powerful and I could
and it’s pretty powerful and I could
and it’s pretty powerful and I could have even come up with new types of ammo
have even come up with new types of ammo
have even come up with new types of ammo and that would kind of milk the idea
and that would kind of milk the idea
and that would kind of milk the idea because let’s face it if I came up with
because let’s face it if I came up with
because let’s face it if I came up with something new every single week I’m
something new every single week I’m
something new every single week I’m going to burn myself out and then I’m
going to burn myself out and then I’m
going to burn myself out and then I’m gonna be making jello molds and

let’s try and be creative I would like to have a little trigger I was thinking
to have a little trigger I was thinking
to have a little trigger I was thinking about putting like a thumbtack
about putting like a thumbtack
about putting like a thumbtack having like a little lever type thing
having like a little lever type thing
having like a little lever type thing basically but if I was twisting this
basically but if I was twisting this
basically but if I was twisting this turning it it would get stuck so I did
turning it it would get stuck so I did
turning it it would get stuck so I did put the little rounded part there I just
put the little rounded part there I just
put the little rounded part there I just don’t think that I have the patience to
don’t think that I have the patience to
don’t think that I have the patience to like figure this out and I don’t really
like figure this out and I don’t really
like figure this out and I don’t really care like I think it’s easier just use
care like I think it’s easier just use
care like I think it’s easier just use your thumb anyway because otherwise I’d

all right so moved it back a little bit
all right so moved it back a little bit more it’s about three feet away don’t be
more it’s about three feet away don’t be
more it’s about three feet away don’t be fooled this thing can fire up to 30 feet
fooled this thing can fire up to 30 feet
fooled this thing can fire up to 30 feet easily and the cool thing about this
easily and the cool thing about this
easily and the cool thing about this design because I used these metal tabs

so if you really wanted to get craft you
so if you really wanted to get craft you could make a 200 pound crossbow if you
could make a 200 pound crossbow if you
could make a 200 pound crossbow if you stacked enough of these little things
stacked enough of these little things
stacked enough of these little things here these are actually like hairpin
here these are actually like hairpin
here these are actually like hairpin clips but they work amazingly nice for
clips but they work amazingly nice for
clips but they work amazingly nice for this design so let’s go ahead and cock
this design so let’s go ahead and cock
this design so let’s go ahead and cock this back load in a dart
I really like that rotating feature I

that’s something to add in the future for this prototype I think that got some
for this prototype I think that got some
for this prototype I think that got some nice results and maybe I’ll experiment
nice results and maybe I’ll experiment
nice results and maybe I’ll experiment with different types of ammo
