Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction: Build a Secret Agent Arsenal

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 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 SOOO fabulous. It got two 13 year old boys to put down their Xbox controllers for several days on multiple occassions. My son went to the dollar store and spent his own allowance to buy supplies to make all the cool stuff in this book. Not that it's necessary, you will probably have stuff to make this at home, but he wanted to make it ALL. We have already pre-ordered the third book and are anxiously awaiting it's arrival. The first book was great, too. Although we all preferred this one over the first.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this for a 12 year old kid, and he immediately hid it after opening it. He instinctively knew his mom would probably not approve. After prying it out of his hands and explaining what it was to his the mother, she was so impressed that she took him shopping for parts! That is after she made him promise not to use it for evil!

A nice reference book on making mini weapons.

Libro en ingles muy divertido. No se necesita para nada saber leer ingles, son todo diagramas de como hacer las armas. Sencillas, divertidas y no letales. La lástima es que he buscado el primero y no hay manera de encontrarlo.

Every kid should own a copy
