Look there i have solved the problem!

But with the nimby's in charge if you told them something dangerous could be made with bits of pipe etc, the list of things the muppets would try to ban would be incredible.

I have a marshmallow cannon I made for kids parties. It's literally a section of 40mm pvc with a t-junction and a plastic flap on one end. The power comes from the vacuum cleaner in the t-junction (on suck). I've accidentally left a red welt on a kid's face from a marshmallow hitting at 5m. It has real power, and fruit bursts would be suitable ammo for home defence.






Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Well that post is useless without photos (and plans and a cutting list ahem).

Lol. Photos attached. The pipe is 32mm inside diameter. A longer pipe allows speed to pick up more. The flap is a square of icecream lid sewn between a light cotton fabric. The key is the flap: too heavy and the marshmallow gets sucked down the vacuum, too light and it doesn't suck closed after the shot. After 5 years of experimentation I've used the fabric because the force of the projectile would cause plastic fatigue after about 5 shots or tear the duct tape.
