How to make a catapult out of a mouse trap.
Make a powerful little catapult (40 feet projectile launch) out of a mouse trap, plastic spoon and some tape. Amazing how powerful this little catapult can launch.

[epicfantasy]

@Mr1kyle100 Yes, it will be very strong. But be careful, those can break fingers. really

I'm doing this with a rat trap not a mouse trap....sweet

[epicfantasy]

@gpicman That will be a powerful catapult. Just be careful! A rat trap can literally break a finger easily.

What are some ways to make it strong so an object can go a longer distance? Around 55ft is possible.

[epicfantasy]

@JR720musicfan You can get the bigger size mousetrap. Those things are really strong, I think they call them rat traps. But be careful. It can literally break your finger. 55 feet would be easy for those.

thanks so much! i'm using this idea for a project :)

@HKLesterol lol, No. It just flings them around the room. Once word gets around the mice line up for it like it was a carnival ride or something.

Dont be a pussy use the adult size mouse trap if you really want to fling shit!
