Wow, if you thought working at your white-collared job, sitting in your well equipped air-conditioned office, thinking that this is probably one of the safest place to be… you may just want to think twice about that. The office is a jungle. Beside having to watch your back against office colleagues who may be wolf in sheep’s clothes, you may just have to watch out for those seemingly utilitarian office supplies, because in conjuncture with other seemingly innocent office supplies, they may just result to be one of the deadliest office weapon yet. Below is an example of our favorite office supplies- binder clips, turned into office weapons.
Take a few binder clips of varying sizes, turn them upside down, and clip the smaller binder clips inside the larger clips.
It should look like this when the larger binder clips have clipped the smaller ones.
Remove all the binder clip handles.
Add another 2 larger binder clips on top of the smaller edge with a rubber band in between.
Take out the binder clips handle again.
Reverse wrap the larger rubber band.
If you want, you could add a laser pointer on top of this office weapon to help you aim.
You could elongated object of your choice, in this case, pens and pencils works perfectly,
This office weapon could really hurt if used correctly.
Close up of the result of this office weapon.

Having a laser pointer on top, kinda breaks the surprise….
but I do remember one scene the guy saying to the bad guy:
“Where the red point is… there’ll be a small hole”
By Mauricio on Aug 19, 2008
um yes… i would also like to try this on someone in the office… kiddin
isn’t the blog a great way to vent ur frustrations?
hehe

I need these today
I’ll be an office assassin/ninja
I wonder who can come up with an idea to McGuyer these into a booby-trap like Indiana Jones… like if someone comes and moves my office chair while I’m in the bathroom they get shot in the ankle
By David Podgursky on Aug 19, 2008

hahaha the laser pointer is a great addition!

This is a lot of fun, until someone is blinded in one eye.
By Madra on Aug 20, 2008
Personally, I think everyone should have one at their respective stations. That way, when the office psycho blows a gasket and brings an AK-47 to work, he’ll be bombarded with a hundred-fifty pens and pencils. He may take one or two people down, but not necessarily out, and he won’t be able to aim or shoot himself once he’s blinded and brain damaged by a couple’a Bics, Biros, or American Standards to the temple region.
Take care,
Azy!

I cant think of any situation in which something like this would be useful sorry
By oh well on Aug 20, 2008

By Wyatt on Aug 20, 2008
OMG I so need this, especially for the nosy peeps who worry more about what others are doing then what they should be doing themselves. actually I would like to be able to launch this in rapid succession and get all of them at once.

They say if you stick something through a can it will not leak until it is removed. Thats really neat.
By Recruiting Services on Aug 21, 2008
I built one of these and in the process spilled an entire can of coke all over my desk/keyboard. It was horrible. I also didnt have the right size binder clips.
By Charles on Aug 21, 2008
Awesome! A use for my parker pen!
By Sen on Aug 21, 2008
I just built one! its heaps fun! ive been shooting at other people at the office, now they want one too. it also really really hurts apparently
By Milk on Aug 21, 2008
In 6th grade we made desk traps that would shoot pencils at people who tried to steal our lunch tickets…
2 rubber bands, 2 paper clips, and a pencil… If you open the desk more than half an inch without disarming it first, it’ll shoot you right in the chest.
By LarchOye on Aug 22, 2008
I doubt that can was still standing after it was shot, but regardless of that, I’m definitely making a few of these until i can afford a gun.
By Phil E. Drifter on Aug 23, 2008
This is for the employee or student who thinks they can come to work or class and go postal on everyone. If all of the other students or employees have one, two, or three in their desk then the postal mother-&^%$#@ has a shyt-load of freshly sharpened pencils flying at his/her postal @ss!!!
By Lana on Aug 23, 2008
BOOM HEADSHOT!!!
BOOM HEADSHOT!!!
By bryan on Aug 24, 2008
maybe you should get back to work…
By emily on Aug 24, 2008
The tip of the pencil that penetrated the can was made with special military carbonium-steel fiber, not ordinary graphite. Am I right?
bye bye

CHANTIX SAID: “This is a lot of fun, until someone is blinded in one eye.”
No, then it’s fun you can’t see out of one eye!
By Soporific on Aug 25, 2008

Apply directly to the forehead!
By Jamie Collins on Aug 29, 2008
Oh my god, now production in the office will drop, all the cubicles will be staging areas of combat, getting to the next cubicle to “visit” will need to be re-thought. Office wars, yeah baby, makes it very interesting to go to work now. Now only the true losers will show up to work. All the kiss butt personnel would be too scared to work let alone show up.
By Ipod Touch Downloads on Aug 29, 2008
I’m OH&S supervisor for my group, but I will make this.
By Brian on Sep 2, 2008
Curtain hooks and a good rubber band can be just as bad, but simpler.
By Tilly on Sep 4, 2008
Holy wow - you’re the missing link! Look at the hair on your arms. Are you first or second generation removed from a gorilla?
By Darwin on Sep 5, 2008
It’s all fun and games till someone loses an eye then it’s hilarious. lol
By cold12008 on Sep 6, 2008
So what size binder clips are shown?
I got some and they don’t seem to work, they seem to be too small.

Wow. Now the TSA will be checking our carry-ons for office supplies!

I think i would need an infinite number of pencils
By Juande on Sep 10, 2008
Coming from an office supply company, this is perhaps the best post of ‘beat the office doldrums’ I’ve ever seen. Well done! Good call on the disclaimer as well.
By Time Tracker on Sep 12, 2008
That looks cruel, maniacal, and potentially dangerous. I can’t wait to try it >:D
By heather on Sep 14, 2008
Wow I super did this and made it into a full scale sniper rifle (just for fun, at home) but i took a hinge, then put a sting on the hinge to keep it from going forward, then put the rubberband on the hinge,next i put another string from the string holding the hinge back, and attached it to a trigger, so when the trigger is pulled it pulls the string down, and releses the hinge, witch leads to the rubberband being fired. i tryed it and it shot throw a an in to the side of my car.
By Mattbram on Sep 25, 2008
I made this and now my cube wall is riddled w/ pencil holes. Awesome!
