Poison Pen
|
||
|
||
Need: plastic retractable ball pt. pen
|
||
1cc Tuberculin syringe (about .7cm diam. or 1/4in)
|
||
(needle:1cm or 3/8 in. long)
|
||
razor blades
|
||
ruler
|
||
|
||
|
||
To make:
|
||
Cut about 1/4 in. or .7cm off end of syringe tube. Generally make the
|
||
tube streamlined. Take insides out of pen. Sheer off tip of pen until you can
|
||
push the syringe in with light pressure and have all the needle, but nothing
|
||
else, protruding from the tip. Cut a mark in the syringe where pen meets
|
||
syringe. Remove syringe. Screw the sides of the pen together. Cut pen in two
|
||
at meeting place of two halves. Take the moving parts of the pen ( the
|
||
'clicker') out. Cut off all protrusions (parts that look like the fins on a
|
||
rocket) Glue all parts together like they were originally. That part will now
|
||
be called the clicker. Cut the 'push' flat part off the top of the plunger.
|
||
Cut the plunger so it is about 3/8 in. from the top of the tube when inserted
|
||
all the way. Whittle the tip of the plunger so it will fit loosely in the
|
||
clicker. Plunger end first, GENTLY push the tube into the clip-on end of the
|
||
pen as far as it will go, with moderate pressure. Mark the place where pen
|
||
meets tube. Remove the tube, measure the distance between the two marks, and
|
||
cut that much off the end of the tube. Cut and whittle the plunger again.
|
||
Place the clicker in the clip end. Insert the plunger to about .4cc and gently
|
||
push into the clip end. You should be able to push the clicker and make the
|
||
plunger move all the way down to empty. If not, modify further. Cut a piece of
|
||
plastic or paper about 2cm or 7/8in wide, big enough to wrap around the biggest
|
||
part of the pen. Tape it so it forms a sheath or tube and paint to match the
|
||
pen, like a sheath to cover the gap between the ends when the pen is not armed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To Arm:
|
||
Remove the syringe parts and fill with about .4cc liquid (good poison
|
||
of course). Push the plunger end in the clip end as far as it will go. Some
|
||
liquid should squirt out, which is okay, as long as there is .1-.2cc left.
|
||
Take the other end of the pen and push it over the syringe and into the sheath.
|
||
You should place it so the needle is almost extending out of the end, but not
|
||
quite.
|
||
|
||
To use:
|
||
One-handed, holding with the clip on part (not touching the clicker),
|
||
slide the two ends together. The needle should slide out. Stab, depress
|
||
clicker. The syringe should inject its poison. |
