Why not go all out and hook a Co2 canister to it? ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 8:49 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] The marshmellow gun ponderings
Hello, I am studying this store bought marshmallow gun and trying to figure out the best way to achieve something similar at home. The pump up idea reminds me of the super soaker guns which shoot water long distances? There is a reserve in the middle/top of the gun which resembles a small plastic soft drink bottle, or part of one really, because it is not very large. Back at the back of the gun is a pump handle, which is hooked to a thing which resembles the plunger of a very large hypothermic serenge. I can't see what is on the other end of it, but I figure it is like the cork pop guns, with a piece of plastic, to pres against the edges of the tunnel enough to push air somewhere. I am not sure how this works. I considered just buying a small bike pump and building a housing around it, to hide what I had done, and just do the whole valve stem mounted in pvc and all that which is suggested for the big air cannons, but this seems like over kill and extra money. Surely it is more easy to achieve? Any thoughts? I also read somewhere about bug sprayers or some such little rigs which can be bought complete from hardware store. Again, sounds like overkill. I am just still studying this idea. Thanks for any forthcoming thoughts. Matt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
