00:00:17crutch a dremel tool paracord steel rod
00:00:23metal springs a small metal hinge
00:00:27electrical tape and a lighter
00:00:34project is removing the extension rail
00:00:36from the crush I did this by using a
00:00:39drill tool to drill out the two rivets
00:00:42that hold it in place and then basically
00:00:46just tap them out with a screwdriver or
00:00:50whatever tool this is the handle to the
00:00:57mechanism basically all I did was take a
00:01:02cut portion of the extension rod five
00:01:06spaces long and secured it using
00:01:10paracord I just wrapped this around
00:01:12twice with equal lengths on each side
00:01:15and then once again I went around on
00:01:18opposite sides putting each end through
00:01:21the hole and then tied a knot at the end
00:01:25which works as the safety because this
00:01:29can go over the top and prevent the
00:01:33projectile from launching accidentally
00:01:36for the trigger basically what I have is
00:01:40some more paracord and I just melted the
00:01:47two ends together and use some
00:01:49electrical tape to make a nice snug fit
00:01:56the last part to this project is the
00:01:59projectile itself I haven’t figured out
00:02:02how to get a knife in there yet I don’t
00:02:07really know if I want to because it’s
00:02:08pretty dangerous but basically what you
00:02:10have to do is I took a drill and drill
00:02:15it on each side try and make them as
00:02:20parallel as possible and that if you can
00:02:25see down in there is the stopper where
00:02:28it prevents the springs from going any
00:02:31further so basically you just want to
00:02:35superglue that in there however and then
00:02:39right here is the button that you used
00:02:44to fire you put it into the
00:02:48launching handle and then it clicks into
00:02:52one of the holes and you push it down
00:02:54using the trigger to release it so I
00:02:59just put really simple just a piece of
00:03:02cardboard or whatever to prevent the
00:03:05other rivet from going through this hole
00:03:12after all of your parts are built you
00:03:16don’t need to take your four springs
00:03:19your last one has to be cut down a bit
00:03:23to allow everything to fit in perfectly
00:03:26so you load smallest one first with the
00:03:33shortened down and then just load
00:03:36everything also add this portion and
00:03:44then you’ll want to use a flat surface
00:03:49to make sure that whenever you’re
00:03:55forcing the launch the projectile into
00:03:59the handle that you’re not gonna lose in
00:04:04stability so you just push down it snaps
00:04:10into place
00:04:12so I had a little bit of red foam that
00:04:18has a sticky side to kind of show that’s
00:04:23whenever it’s loaded and kind of armed
00:04:26this is just kind of like carrying
00:04:27position and I’ll show you guys in a
00:04:31second what this thing can do
00:04:43here’s the first test fire all I have to
00:04:48do is press down on these red pad here
00:04:53which is gonna push down on the button
00:04:56and there’s also I’m trying this with
00:05:00the second switch also which is kind of
00:05:02like a safety so my pointer finger I’m
00:05:06pressing down on the first button and
00:05:09then in a second and we shouldn’t aim
00:05:12and shoot here’s the close-up of that
00:05:19first shot you can see that the
00:05:24projectile basically Jam itself into the
00:05:31cardboard as far as it could but then
00:05:33the two metal prongs inside kept it from
00:05:36going any penetrating any farther
00:05:39here’s another attempt this time I took
00:05:43the cardboard that’s holding the second
00:05:46safety pin from coming through and I
00:05:52just basically put a blow dart needle
00:05:57like I said so we’ll see if it sticks I
00:06:01don’t think it’s gonna fly straight so
00:06:09basically that’s not gonna work
00:06:11I think it’s the reason it’s just the
00:06:14weight and but it’s a cool concept the
00:06:20next one I’m going to do is a distance
00:06:26this is a distance of probably less than
00:06:3130 feet maybe like 25 26 I’m gonna see
00:06:35if I can hit it
00:06:43this is what the last shot I did from
00:06:47the 26 foot range did it still was able
00:06:51to pierce the cardboard box and it’s
00:06:54actually similar to the 10 foot range
00:06:56which is pretty impressive I think
