be measured very easily by using some Lego blocks I put them together in this

Lego blocks I put them together in this

Lego blocks I put them together in this pattern so we’re six studs deep if you

pattern so we’re six studs deep if you

pattern so we’re six studs deep if you line your straw up and hold it with one

line your straw up and hold it with one

line your straw up and hold it with one finger you can very easily cut off the

end and we’re going to be building some fins as well we’re going to need to make

fins as well we’re going to need to make

fins as well we’re going to need to make four cuts along the lines of the straw

four cuts along the lines of the straw

four cuts along the lines of the straw two studs deep now these don’t have to

two studs deep now these don’t have to

two studs deep now these don’t have to be super precise all you need are

be super precise all you need are

be super precise all you need are basically four flaps that will fold

basically four flaps that will fold upward and form a cross like this but

upward and form a cross like this but

upward and form a cross like this but they have a natural tendency to fold

they have a natural tendency to fold

they have a natural tendency to fold back and take the shape of the straw in

back and take the shape of the straw in

back and take the shape of the straw in so we need to heat treat them with

so we need to heat treat them with

so we need to heat treat them with something like a barbecue nyter all you

something like a barbecue nyter all you

something like a barbecue nyter all you need to do is slowly lower from the top

until you see the fins start to move

until you see the fins start to move downward then push your thumb up there

downward then push your thumb up there

downward then push your thumb up there and hold it for about three seconds the

and hold it for about three seconds the

mercury which is a contact explosive spread your top snaps on the table and

spread your top snaps on the table and

spread your top snaps on the table and give the sawdust a little blow the

give the sawdust a little blow the

give the sawdust a little blow the inside of our straw is hollow and the

inside of our straw is hollow and the

inside of our straw is hollow and the pop snaps have these little streams that

pop snaps have these little streams that

pop snaps have these little streams that pop off the top so I like to put them

pop off the top so I like to put them

pop off the top so I like to put them down inside and then just use a couple

down inside and then just use a couple

down inside and then just use a couple dabs of hot glue to secure them in place

dabs of hot glue to secure them in place

dabs of hot glue to secure them in place now they’re fun to use like this you

now they’re fun to use like this you

now they’re fun to use like this you could just throw them like darts and

could just throw them like darts and

could just throw them like darts and they will explode but just to power

they will explode but just to power

they will explode but just to power things up a little bit I went to the gas

things up a little bit I went to the gas

things up a little bit I went to the gas station and picked up a whole handful of

station and picked up a whole handful of

station and picked up a whole handful of straws now these straws come in all

straws now these straws come in all

straws now these straws come in all different sizes shapes and varieties I

different sizes shapes and varieties I

different sizes shapes and varieties I found the bigger ones that are used for

found the bigger ones that are used for

found the bigger ones that are used for soda or pretty well and here’s how they

soda or pretty well and here’s how they

soda or pretty well and here’s how they work

take your fins of your RPG and tuck them

take your fins of your RPG and tuck them back into a straw shape and then slowly

back into a straw shape and then slowly

back into a straw shape and then slowly push them into the end of the one of the

push them into the end of the one of the

push them into the end of the one of the straws so it tucks in nicely like that

straws so it tucks in nicely like that

straws so it tucks in nicely like that these micro RPGs are only intended to be

the coolest thing about these cartridges

the coolest thing about these cartridges is they’re reusable so after you snap

is they’re reusable so after you snap

is they’re reusable so after you snap one off go ahead and pull out the hot

one off go ahead and pull out the hot

one off go ahead and pull out the hot glue grab a new snap it add a little

glue grab a new snap it add a little

glue grab a new snap it add a little more hot glue to that reload it the

more hot glue to that reload it the

more hot glue to that reload it the exact same way and while a straw is

exact same way and while a straw is

exact same way and while a straw is functional it’s not very cool so let’s

functional it’s not very cool so let’s

functional it’s not very cool so let’s power up once again to make a bonafide

power up once again to make a bonafide

power up once again to make a bonafide RPG launcher like this start at one edge

RPG launcher like this start at one edge

RPG launcher like this start at one edge and gently roll the straw until it

and gently roll the straw until it

and gently roll the straw until it touches the entire strip of duct tape

we’ve got a digital camo rocket launch

we’ve got a digital camo rocket launch or tube and if we snip the ends we can

or tube and if we snip the ends we can

or tube and if we snip the ends we can clean it up and make it look super

clean it up and make it look super

clean it up and make it look super professional next I’m going to use a

professional next I’m going to use a

professional next I’m going to use a little bit of electrical tape for

little bit of electrical tape for

little bit of electrical tape for aesthetics we’re going to put a strip of

aesthetics we’re going to put a strip of

aesthetics we’re going to put a strip of electrical tape on both ends and then a

electrical tape on both ends and then a

electrical tape on both ends and then a couple more in the middle just for

couple more in the middle just for

couple more in the middle just for decoration and this one is going to be

decoration and this one is going to be

decoration and this one is going to be quite a bit thicker that’s just going to

quite a bit thicker that’s just going to

quite a bit thicker that’s just going to give us a little bit more of a 3d effect

give us a little bit more of a 3d effect

give us a little bit more of a 3d effect so when I was at the gas station I also

so when I was at the gas station I also

so when I was at the gas station I also found these very small clear tubes and

found these very small clear tubes and

found these very small clear tubes and if we take a strip of duct tape and wrap

if we take a strip of duct tape and wrap

if we take a strip of duct tape and wrap it around the clear tube we can

it around the clear tube we can

it around the clear tube we can instantly turn it black and then with a

instantly turn it black and then with a

instantly turn it black and then with a bit of an angled cut we can make the

bit of an angled cut we can make the

bit of an angled cut we can make the optical scope look pretty cool while

optical scope look pretty cool while

optical scope look pretty cool while that’s cooling we can move on to making

that’s cooling we can move on to making

that’s cooling we can move on to making our handles and for that I’m just using

our handles and for that I’m just using

our handles and for that I’m just using a popsicle stick and a sharpie marker

a popsicle stick and a sharpie marker

a popsicle stick and a sharpie marker then we’re going to cut off the tip I’d

then we’re going to cut off the tip I’d

then we’re going to cut off the tip I’d say about half an inch cut it up the

say about half an inch cut it up the

say about half an inch cut it up the middle we color the center of it with

middle we color the center of it with

middle we color the center of it with the Sharpie that will complete the

the Sharpie that will complete the

the Sharpie that will complete the handle for us once you press that in

handle for us once you press that in

handle for us once you press that in flip it over make sure everything’s

flip it over make sure everything’s

flip it over make sure everything’s lined up symmetrically so that when it’s

lined up symmetrically so that when it’s

lined up symmetrically so that when it’s upside-down it should look like a little

upside-down it should look like a little

upside-down it should look like a little shark fin with the scope hanging
