Default 1-2-3-4, I declare a Marshmallow war!

Look at what I made! These are marshmallow shooters (designed for mini-marshmallows, and can shoot up to 25 feet! My 4 1/2 year old son and I chase each other around the hose with these and have an absolute blast. All parts are readily available at Home Depot/Lowe's/Ace Hardware etc. They are made from 1/2" white PVC, and do not need to be glued together. No batteries needed either! (that's the best part!). The shooter on the left is called the "Big Papa Double-Barrel Devastator" and the one on the right is called the "Little Mercenary Field Buddy".

/me runs like a gazelle to the Home DePot.

I'm very very gazelle-like when I'm excited.

I made these last year. Way too much fun for anyone to be allowed to have!
If you make them, do not glue them together. Some of the fun is redesiging your gun each time you use it, and it is easier to get the marshmallows out if they get stuck. You can also fill the "non-useable" tubes with plastic grocery bags to get a little bit more velocity and to keep the ammunition from getting stuck in the dead ends.

Maybe all the Org members who make them could paint them to match their beetles! That'd be rad! That's right, I said rad!

so do you just blow into one end to shoot them?

and how do you load them? one shot at a time?

One sweet shot at a time, load via muzzle or mouthpiece.

Okay if you would put doggie treats in one I bet the snossages would work the best cause they are round or even the sonssages rope like treats cut into pieces...Yes I have thought this out after Squeebug mentioned it to me while walking down the dog food isle at the grocery store.
