Title: BYO marshmallow gun
Post by: ChadTower on May 14, 2007, 02:16:35 pm

We have a couple of these (http://www.instructables.com/id/ETF791V9H4EP285YZU/) for my kids... these things are accurate as hell and with minimal breath power get some real distance.  Hilarious.

The face shield on that kid would do.  How fast does a minimarshmallow have to be going to injure your eye?  It looks like that kid is more likely to fall and slice his face open on the sharp plastic.

You need to cleverly modify it so it has a clip.

If you load up a whole bunch of marshmallows it still shoots them all out with quite a bit of force... not quite the same but it does make it rapid fire.

We did mod one so it had two intakes so both kids could exhale into it at once, doubling the force.

Eh, my kids are smarter than to smoke pot out of something made from PVC.

They're 5 and 8 so I'm assuming nothing.

god in the uk i'd be worried by age 8 that theyd have moved on to harder things, seriously, i have a three year old and im not looking forward to her going to school.
i met a guy once who smoked pot through an apple, stands to reason thats gotta be good for you. :laugh2: an apple a day etc.

So if you suck instead of blow can you eat the marshmallow?
