This Tic-Tac Gun Is a Minty-Fresh Blaster

Posted on by

Designed, 3D printed, and sold by Etsy shop 3DCubedPrinting; the TTG2.5 is a  handgun that uses mints as bullets. That way, you don’t even have to clean up after shooting cans for target practice in your living room; just let your dogs enjoy minty-fresh breath.

The spring-action Tic-Tac Gun is made to order and available in over 1,000 color combinations, including a bunch of different camo and glow-in-the-dark options. A whole regular-size box of Tic-Tacs acts as the gun’s magazine, allowing around 38 shots before running out and needing to run to 7-Eleven for more am-mint-unition.

So, should you try shooting Tic-Tacs directly into a friend’s mouth? I suppose that depends on how you feel about them choking and/or chipping a tooth. Honestly, I say go for it. Just make sure to mention this website at the dentist’s office, so they know where to send the referral check.

A Tiny Everyday Carry Slingshot: For Plinking On The Go

Posted on by

Inspired by the design of their 2017 full-size slingshot, this is the $100 Mini Sling from knife manufacturer TOPS. The company decided to create the miniature version after customers requested a smaller, everyday carry sling for plinking on the go. Empty cans beware!

The sling measures 3.5″ x 1.75″ and weighs only 3.2 ounces. TOPS insists it’s so light that “you’d forget you were carrying it, if only it wasn’t so fun to shoot.” It also comes with a brown leather sheath that can be attached to a belt either horizontally or vertically. Me? I plan on carrying mine in my fanny pack with my Big League Chew and sunscreen.

I’ve been known to spend the better part of a Saturday afternoon on my back deck casually drinking beer and plinking the empty cans lined up on the handrail. Do I start to miss more often the more beers I’ve had? That depends on who you ask, but if you ask someone who’s telling the truth, yes.
