Cardboard sniper rifle - GIF and video

Cardboard sniper rifle. Great build to do with kids, and if the PC crowd jumps on you for it, you just say it's a soda and sugary drink eliminating device. The joke can be further textured by incorporating the word "assault" in there somewhere.

Pro level? Replace those stationary soda cans with some Dancing soda can bubble toy targets.

Just don't let the kids take it to school, or have a photo of it at school, or talk about it at school, or even think about it at school. They must only think about the things they are told to think about!! And NOW that we can build guns with them, kids will no longer be able to use pencils, rulers, glue or cardboard. I have been wondering for a long time how they can still allow pencils, those things can be deadly.

Please be aware of the sarcasm intended here, but unfortunately not far enough from the truth.

Retired from 35 years in the classroom. I would not survive a month in today's schools.

I doubt I could survive a day in todays school.
The interesting/scarey thing is with all the modern "protections" we have, crime & drugs escalate.
Sorry, must be +ve: there are lots of great young inventors, helpers, carers etc
