Note that this is for educational, scientific, or artistic purposes only, so it complies with Google's policy. For example, engineering including aerodynamics, physics, math, etc., this is a tool not a toy. As of Christmas 2019 and hereby until further notice unless otherwise stated, this model is not allowed to be used commercially without permission from the original designer. This applies to all official platforms as well. Also, the pellet slinger has been updated, and yes, there are single pellets, but with this method, a downloader can create custom arrays of plastic bullets as many pellets as they wish. It's everyone's responsibility to only download or 3D print these in areas where it is legal, and to follow all laws of importation wherever you bring this. *(Basic intro & basic description)*(The full details, full description & disclaimer is after this basic introduction & basic description) Also, just a heads-up warning: This can be dangerous if misused, which is why you see this warning. But follow the guidelines, and then it's safe. But wherever you use one, it's essential to be a responsible person with self-discipline that's ethical, with integrity, and handle properly at all times. Check your backgrounds (surroundings), wear safety gear like safety glasses, be aware of your surroundings & follow all laws & regulations, and all proper protocol. Also, consider the background; wear eye protection. Also, do not shoot people except in established and controlled war games where the consent of all players is signed. Do not brandish as people might not realize it's too short to dangle any arrows or darts and confuse it with a mini crossbow. Where legal, you can shoot house spiders. Also, keep in mind anywhere you remember with enough elastic potential; this would not be a toy and could dent wooden doors with big enough rubber bands. And that the pellets are 8.5mm diameter x 15.5mm length, an airsoft BB is only 6mm diameter, and curtains will stop the bullets. The designer & publisher is not responsible for any misuse, which we condemn any misuse. When someone 3D prints the design, they are the manufacturer and have responsibilities. Also, to shoot, there are two official ways to launch: The first is a two-handed method by holding with one hand and like a pinch draw in archery clamp down with your thumb while pulling back (this can be hard on your thumb but will deliver the most firepower). The second is to pre-draw the elastics then slip on a bullet then fling the elastic. This is not as effective on certain angles. Downloading you accept these conditions, as well as any terms of use including where it's posted or accessorized with; also wear proper safety gear. *Check your local laws before downloading or 3D printing this is for responsible owners only.* Also, wear eye protection. *(By downloading you agree you are at legal age if not at legal age make sure you got parental permission and follow the responsibilities listed above and below)* Also, retrain every time you get new eye-wear prescriptions for safety reasons as new glasses for example can alter the aim. Be sure to grip & drag the pellet with your thumb hard so the elastic has tension so it can shoot. This might need a little practice. Also, redirect so the length of the pellet is under your thumb. (Everything must be done with honesty, integrity, and responsibility at all times; citations must be used on any packaging or labeling. It's everyone's responsibility.)
