Take aim and fire with this delicious weapon.

Warning
Always wear eye protection when using the marshmallow gun and never aim at anyone's face.

Step 1: Cut the pipe
Measure, mark, and cut the pipe into one 1-inch segment, five 3-inch segments, and one 7-inch segment.

Tip
Use a hacksaw if you don't have PVC-pipe cutters.

Step 2: Assemble the handle
To build the handle, put a cap on a 3-inch piece followed by an elbow and another 3-inch piece.

Step 3: Build the mouthpiece
For the mouthpiece, put the one-inch piece in the bottom of the T-connector. Connect an elbow to the other side of the piece, followed by a 3-inch segment. Attach one end of the T-connector to the 3-inch piece from the handle.

Step 4: Build the barrel
On the remaining end of the T-connector, put a 3-inch piece and another T. A 3-inch piece with a cap goes in the bottom of the T, and the 7-inch piece goes in the third T opening to serve as the barrel of the gun.

Tip
Make sure that the pieces are pushed together tightly. Friction holds the gun together, and maintaining air pressure is critical to shooting the sugary ammo.

Step 5: Shoot the gun
Go shooting! Put on eye protection, point the gun in a safe direction, and load a mini-marshmallow into the mouthpiece. Wrap your lips around the mouthpiece and blow to give the gun a quick burst of air. Pow!
