Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction: Build a Secret Agent Arsenal

Purchased this book after seeing Book 1 at a maker fair event. Some dollar store office supplies and instructions from this book have enabled my 11 yr old and his friends to make some "mini-weapons" and have a great time. They also make their own targets. (I last saw a "target pig" constructed of paper towel rolls, paper plates, and a tissue box.) I'd advise giving this to a RESPONSIBLE 11 year old (along with safety glasses) as one example of ammunition from this book series is darts made of straight pins stuck in pencil erasers. This is a great adventure and imaginative use of time for tween boys in this era of over-protective play.

A nice reference book on making mini weapons.

Bought the whole series for 15 year old son and he absolutely loves them. Of course, I am now having to replace my office supplies that he keeps stealing to build things with. Great for getting kids interested in doing something with their hands that is not electronic and hooked to a video console. Helps them think outside of the box. He has used what he learned in these books to build his own very creative inventions. Am planning on buying one of the books with some supplies for my nephews for Christmas.

Bought this book off of Amazon. Liked the idea, figured it might be cool to check it out, possibly make some cool stuff to give to people as gifts or jokes. Upon recieving it, I found that many of the projects inside were pretty time consuming, which is definitely something that I wish that I would have known when I purchased the book. That being said, a good amount of these projects are fairly simple WITH PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. If you aren't very good at making stuff, this book will walk you through it but not necessarilly without any confusion. The instructions can get a little trivial at times. But, if you're up for the slight time committment, looking for a way to eat up some time, and are willing to put forth a little effort to get a few cool homemade gadgets out of it, this book is probably for you.

My 9 year-old grandson loved the book, but he may be competing with his big sister to make some of the projects in it. We adults had a lot of fun looking at it too. Can't imagine who thought up these projects, but they were highly inventive and creative. Highly recommend this for little boys in the 9-12 age range.

I purchased this for my teenage nephew and after opening his other presents-he is a very polite and thoughtful young man-he began reading and building the projects found in the book while still at his grandparent's house. He was able to build at least two projects before leaving. The book will provide him with many hours of project building fun. It helps with following plans, understanding schematics, and the joy of seeing your crafted item actually work using items found at home.

My Son has been glued to these books, dog-earing the pages and planning for world domination. To put this in context, his favorite gifts this year were these books and the 4 rolls of patterned duct tape he received in his Christmas stocking. He is now constantly walking up to me asking "Dad, do we really NEED this wire coat hanger? Are you SURE I can't have it" My only complaint about these books is what it will do to our home office supply budget.

My 13 years old son is having great time making the mini weapons. He spent hours on one item and I was totally impressed by the product. It definitely beats watching TV or playing video games. If your child likes to make things, this is a great instruction book. I did not read through the book to comment on all the weapons. So far the mini weapons he made are harmless. Of cause we talked about safety, never pointing the weapon at people.

this book is ammmmmmmazing it was so cool i made my own gun types and avenchely l created a suit of mini weaponised armour (core is made of tin metal for protection) that has guns on its arms grabbeling guns on its auther arm and auther cool stuff. please make a nuther book but nake it kind of spy/ army. from jake. p.s. inthe next book use my suit of armour idea.
