In the event that the Apocalypse hits and you find yourself trapped in the office, you will need to fashion a weapon fast! Here is the step by step on how to do this: Make a Crossbow out of office supplies
Once you have fashioned your crossbow you will need to
remember:
- There are no such things as office friends during the Apocalypse
- You will need to take them out before they do you
- Go for the eyes boo
- Foes are food
- Looting them after might be just like in Skyrim except your carrying capacity is significantly lower – CEOs have higher level loot.
I've made a crossbow before. It was larger than than that bow and it used flag poles, a small PVC pipe (poles run out), loads of tape, string, a weird shaped paperclip (http://www.leroypennysavernews.com/LynneBelluscioArticles/Images/paper_clips.jpg the "Ideal" one) and the unavoidable rubber band. An X-acto was used to cut everything to the required shape/length. I made it bullpup-like and used the paperclip as two pulleys for the string to multiply force. This crossbow is fine for target practice at 5 meters although quite inaccurate and the fact the pencil and pens I used as ammo keep on tumbling through the air.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Definitely the extreme paperclip of choice there ;) lol. Try using some stones from an office pot plant to shoot and increase the size of your bow limb and flexibility as well as the tension on your string. Maybe you should consider the fact that you might be more of a sharp metal object person than an office archer. Maybe try going for the desk scissors and skulking around a bit – seeing if stab–stab feels more natural to you than pew-pew ^^. I’m totally a little Stabby Smurf \m/
