Photo shows the demonstration used at the University of Texas at Austin

Instructions / Notes:

WARNING: The launcher can be released quite easily and fast, so you may get hurt. Make sure your fingers are out of the way at all times as much as possible. Try not to disrupt the release mechanism once set before shooting.

• Insert metal shaft on the doll's head into the electromagnet and load the orange bullet before shooting.
• Pull the red and white string located on the rear release mechanism to shoot bullet.
• The gun is aimed at the "monkey". When you shoot, the monkey jumps from the tree, but you still hit it.

Demo Staff:

• For instructions on set-up, watch the video below.
• When you pull the rod out, only four holes should be fully visible.
