 * Difficulty: Medium
 * Needs:
 * Safety glasses - Always wear eye protection!
 * Small firework (Bobcat)
 * Model rocket igniters
 * 14-2 electrical wire (other sizes will work, e.g. 22-2 or 24-2 stranded phone or bell wire)
 * 14-2 refers to two 14-gauge wires enclosed in a plastic jacket
 * 14-2 wire may be overkill for this project; smaller wire would be more suitable
 * 9-volt battery
 * Metal plate
 * Duct tape
 * Condoms
 * Fake blood
 * Shirt
 * Scissors
 * 1) Cut a small hole into one of the Bobcat fireworks and insert a rocket igniter.
 * 2) Attach the black and white wire to each of the leads on the end of the rocket igniter.
 * 3) Fill a condom with fake blood.
 * 4) Tape the metal plate to onto your analog or actor using duct tape in the area where you want them to be shot.
 * 5) Have your analog or actor wear a disposable shirt and mark the spot where the metal plate is located.
 * 6) Remove the shirt and put a piece of duct tape on the inside of the shirt where the mark is located. Cut a star shape from the mark.
 * 7) Tape the Bobcat to the metal plate and the fake blood pack over the Bobcat. Put the shirt back over your analog or actor and line up the hole.
 * 8) When filming, count down to when the squib will go off. Touch wire leads the prongs on the 9-volt battery and the squib will go off.

Compressed Air Squib

 * Difficulty: Easy

 * Garden sprayer (the type used to disperse chemicals or bug spray; use a clean one)
 * Fake blood
 * Shirt
 * Sponge
 * Syringe (with no needle)
 * 1) Connect the clear tubing to your garden sprayer using duct tape.
 * 2) Plug the opposite end of the clear tubing with a piece of duct tape and a folded piece of tape.
 * 3) Cut a small hole into the hose about an inch to 1.5" from the bottom.
 * 4) Attach the hose to your actor using duct tape. Make sure you do not block the hole on the hose.
 * 5) Cut small pieces of sponge and put them into the hole on the hose to prevent blood from spilling out.
 * 6) Fill the hose with fake blood using the syringe.
 * 7) Pump the garden sprayer several times to create ample pressure in the bottle.
 * 8) When ready to shoot the blood spray, open the release valve on the garden sprayer and ka-boom with out the boom: you have a blood spray without the hurt.
