NEWS – Check out this 3D printed gun that uses Tic Tac breath mints as ammunition. It can shoot the tiny candy pellets up to 15 feet. Just snap in a container of mints and have fun blasting… at least until someone loses an eye or something. If you want a Tic Tac Gun ready to use, head over to Etsy where you can buy one for $16.50. If you have a 3D printer and would rather print one of your own, Thingiverse has downloadable STL models for free.

I’m just glad, that in the 60’s & 70’s when I was a kid, we didn’t have 3D printers LOL. It was bad enough that we had chemistry sets! Running the family out of the house once because I thought, if 1/4 teaspoon of something mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of something would make a “rotten egg” smell. Then 1/2 a bottle of something with a full bottle of something would make a really big rotten egg smell. I would have gotten in WORSE trouble with something like this. LOL I probably would try to make the distance farther.
Rusty, oh boy, I bet your parents loved that! I remember when I was a kid, I made homemade darts out of matchsticks, needles, and paper for the wings. I made a dartboard and taped it to my wall. There’s nothing more fun than throwing extremely sharp objects around the room.
i understand my grandson’s print will be done by dinnertime
the high power springs are on his porch as we speak
thx
btw…your darts blown out of an empty BIC tube are a lot of fun
update…this shooter has at least a 30 foot range
more than enough to get in trouble
i don’t know who is having more fun…my son or my grandson
Craig, that’s impressive! Thanks for sharing 🙂
