Miniweapons of Mass Destruction 2Build a Secret Agent ArsenalBy John AustinChicago Review Press IncorporatedCopyright © 2011 Austin Design, Inc.All rights reserved.ISBN: 978-1-56976-716-0ContentsIntroduction, Conceal This Book!, Play It Safe, 1 Agent Sidearms, 2 Weapons in Disguise, 3 Villain MiniWeapons, 4 Gadgets, 5 Surveillance and Intel, 6 Concealment, 7 Targets, CHAPTER 1AGENT SIDEARMSPPK TIC TACSmall and lightweight, the Walther PPK was the signature weapon of a very popular British secret agent. This homemade design features an incredible elastic firing range and an integrated candy dispenser, giving you an endless clip of minty bullets.Supplies1 standard art marker 1 small balloon Duct tape 2 plastic pen caps 1 large paper clip 1 craft stick 1 Tic Tac container 1 small binder clip (19 mm) 2 playing cardsToolsSafety glasses Pliers Hobby knife Hot glue gun ScissorsAmmo1+ small, hard candiesStep 1Locate a standard art marker; a recycled plastic marker is preferred because of the softness of the outer housing, but any marker will work. Using pliers, remove the marker's end cap by slightly twisting it from the housing. Then use the pliers to remove the marker nib — the writing point — by sliding it out the tip of the marker. Discard this nib to avoid a mess.Using a hobby knife, pierce the marker housing below the plastic point as shown, and slowly rotate the marker. Rotating the housing, rather than the knife, will make cutting safer. Once this end has been removed, the internal ink cartridge should slide out. Discard this cartridge. (If the housing contains ink residue, rinse it out and dry it.)The marker housing will become the barrel of your PPK Tic Tac. The housing pathway should be unobstructed by any plastic fragments that might have broken off during cutting. Save the marker cap for a later step.Step 2Now it's time to manufacture the power source of your PPK gun barrel. Pull a balloon over the end of the marker housing with a majority of it covering the housing, as shown. Once in place, tape the balloon securely into position. Test the strength of the tape restraint a few times by pulling the balloon, and add more tape if needed. It is important that you test it before you continue construction.Step 3In this step you will prepare three different components that will be used in the next few steps. Round up two plastic pen caps, one large paper clip, and duct tape.Component A: Using a hobby knife, cut off the pen clip. This will become the barrel sight. Then, from the same pen cap, cut off a ½-inch ring. This will become the hammer detail.Component B: With the second plastic pen cap, slowly bend down the clip without breaking it. This component will eventually become the trigger.Component C: Place the large paper clip on a slightly larger piece of duct tape. Securely wrap the clip so that all of it is covered with tape. This is the beginning of the trigger guard assembly.Step 4Plug in the hot glue gun. While it heats up, lay out the components according to the illustration. Hot glue the marker barrel onto the craft stick, being careful not to burn the balloon. The craft stick should extend approximately 1¾ inches off the balloon side. Once that has set, glue the bent pen cap to the bottom of the craft stick as shown. After the craft stick has cooled, attach the cut pen cap clip to the top of the marker barrel, and then glue the cap ring to the rear of the craft stick.Remember to avoid burning the balloon with the hot glue gun. If you do burn the latex, repeat step 3 with a new balloon.Step 5It's time to build the firearm handle and clip assembly. Hot glue the marker cap to the opposite side of the Tic Tac container; the cap should extend from the bottom approximately ¼ inch. Now remove the metal handles of the small binder clip (19 mm) and fix the clip to the opposite side of the pen cap. The clip should be level with the bottom of the plastic container, as
