Summary

With the advent of modern household products and office supplies binder clips, clothespins, rubber bands, ballpoint pens, toothpicks, paper clips, plastic utensils, and matches and barbeque lighters troublemakers of all stripes have the components needed to build an impressive, if somewhat miniaturized, arsenal. Detailed, step-by-step instructions for each project are provided, including materials and ammo lists, clear diagrams, and construction tips. The 35 devices include catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and combustion shooters build a tiny trebuchet from paper clips and a D-cell battery, wrap a penny in a string of paper caps to create a surprisingly impressive bomb, and convert champagne party poppers and pen casings into a three-barreled bazooka. Finally, plans are provided for a top-secret concealing book to hide your stash, as well as targets cardboard critters, bigheaded aliens, and zombies for shooting practice. Never let your cubicle, home office, or personal space go undefended again!
