How to Make a Marker Pen Missile Launcher!

It shoots at least 20 feet! A great office toy or just annoying your classmates! And all you need is a marker pen!!!!!

YOU WILL NEED:

Fibre tip marker pen (not the fat stubby ones even though they still work)
Scissors
Superglue or lighter (to glue or melt the missile together)
And your hands to make it with!
My first instructible and for a contest!


Dismantle the Pen and Get Rid of the Cap.

You will need the cartridge part for later.

Pull the Material 2/3 of the Way Out of Its Thin Plastic Tubing.

Not all the way!

Now Cut Off the 2/3 So You Have 1/3 Left in the Tube.

How hard can it be? ;)

Now Push It Back in All the Way and Pull Out the Chisel Tip.

You won't need the chisel tip, just throw it away.

Now Superglue or Melt the Ink Sponge to the Thin Plastic Tube.

I used a lighter and pressed it onto a table so it flattened them together. DON'T OVERDO IT!

Your Missile Is Complete! Now Put It Into the Pen and Blow!

It is powerful! And BY THE WAY, YOU CAN MAKE IT MORE POWERFUL BY CUTTING OFF & WIDENING THE SMALL HOLE AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE TIP USED TO BE! TRUST ME, IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE!
