working spiderman webshooters?

this is probably the most childish and impossible thing on the rpf, but has anyone ever created a working webshooter? i mean, i have the toy that shoots silly string, but if someone modified silly string to make it stronger, it could work. any feedback is apperciated.
 
Sure. As long as you modify the silly string to be sticky enough to hold onto objects as well as make it strong enough to support your own body weight, then it would totally work.
 
It would be very cool but I would want to be wearing my Advacned Action Suit while using it...
 
This is why I preferred the biological web shooters in the previous Spider-Man movies as opposed to the supposedly built by a teenager web shooters. Come on! When you get bit by a radioactive spider and get super powers, you're more likely to develop web glands than to build something you'd need millions of dollars to build into something the size of a car to work, if ever working, all because the spider bite magically made you realize the formula for great strength spider web goo.... Almost like being bitten by your crazy old grandma and suddenly have her secret pie recipe in your head....
 
In the latest movie, I thought the web formula already existed at Oscorp. I may be mistaken, need to see the movie a second time.

And I could use a good pie recipe!
 
I think I tried to make my own webshooters as a kid (along with ripping apart every flashlight I could find to try to make lightsaber). Not surprisingly, I don't think I got very far, though.

I did just have a thought as I read this thread. Two part liquid epoxy sort of has the same effect as Spider-man's webs. It starts out liquid, but when it combines it becomes sticky, then hard. Expanding foam is another similar product that exists. But I don't think there's anything that sets quickly enough to simulate Spider-man's webs, especially not the strength or the ability to swing from it in rope form.

Although you might be able to gum up someone pretty good if you did douse them with one or the other. I imagine you might at least slow someone down if you sprayed them with epoxy adhesive or expanding urethane foam, but things like pepper spray or tasers are probably the quicker, safer option.
 
until someone invents a two part polymer mixture that strands when shot at speed and retains tensile strength between .6 and 1.4 seconds with lead end viscosity ratings good enough to attach to surfaces, then all you can do is make a reliable piece of hardware without the chemical. its like making an ironman suit without the ability to produce an arc reactor.
 
thanks so much for the idea, bloop. it could work. my thread may be impossible, but in my defense. its not as impossibile as a real batman cape. WHAT UP. lol.

I totally agree with this, it makes MORE sense. I know its a friggin fictional character, but all in all that would be the best direction to have taken him. Why can he climb walls, super senses, extreme agility, but NOT make his own webbing somehow?? Pshh oh well, that's why I like the symbiote suit anyway... Bio-webbing

Yes, they had developed it previously in a capsule form. Peter just makes a shooting mechanism for it.

Because of where a spiders webbing actually comes out of. It would totally change folks opinion of Spider-Man if they saw him shooting butt-webs at bad guys. :lol
