PopularMechanics.com selection for one of The Best DIY and Home Improvement Books of 2009

We.ve come a long way from the Peashooter Era: with the advent of modern household products
and office supplies.binder clips, clothespins, rubber bands, ballpoint pens, toothpicks, paper
clips, plastic utensils, and (of course) matches and barbeque lighters.troublemakers of all
stripes have the components needed to build an impressive, if somewhat miniaturized, arsenal.

Toy designer John Austin provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for each project,
including materials and ammo lists, clear diagrams, and construction tips, for mayhem-loving
MacGyvers. 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.. Several of the projects
even include variations where combatants mount laser pointer sights to their shooters to
increase their accuracy.

Finally, once you.ve built your armory, the author provides plans for a Top Secret Concealing
Book to hide your stash, as well as targets for shooting practice. Never let your personal
space go undefended again!
