How to weaponize office supplies

A while ago, I was asked by the popular format "Businessweek" to make a "How To" for their series of such articles. My specific task was "How to make weapons from office supplies".

Now an office is paradise for the eager makeshift weapons maker! Lots of heavy, sharp things around. So I started to play a bit - here are the results.

A part of the video - the pencil shooter - was actually published by them, the other weapons have probably been too effective (= scary lawsuit magnets) - they did not use it.

But for my true fans - here is the full "director's cut"!

A "The Slingshot Channel" production.

Joerg is the man, but MacGyver would have made a small tac nuke out of that stuff.

He moved up the ranks the old fashioned way: by assassination.

Now he owns the office. : )

No one better take me seriously with my fucked up comments, so I better add this disclaimer. You never know about people these days. : /

Some of my co-workers think I'm nuts for watching your videos. I tell them "You say that now, but wait till one of our disgruntled employees has a meltdown or an ex-employee makes an unwanted return visit to the office. ... I'll be ready for them." >:-]

Hello Mr. Joerg, i started making your scissors slingshot, in the beggining, i was afraid that the stone, or ball, would hit in the left/right side so i made it a little bit more open. It is finished, but 6/10 shots hit in the left/right side of the slingshot and turn back to me, or change direction, what can i do about that ? Please answer.

Thank you
