This is similar to the kind that prison inmates make." - Link. Oh...Don't build this, unless you tattoo MAKE on your arm or something, thanks.

Congrats - another posting so stupidly dangerous that it shouldn't have made it past the common sense meters and onto the blog. Right up there with the razor blade throwing stars.

i think it's ok to post humor, and that's what this is.
the razor blade throwing stars required a welder, so far the death toll has been at a steady zero - people are smart and responsible - not sure i'd like to turn make in to a nanny-nation style blog :(

Brilliant! The person advocating ingenuity can't figure out how to post a comment!! A "talented artist", tattoo artist anyway, would never in a million years use this "gun"!
