Automatic Marshmallow Gun

Step 7Usage

In order to use this gun you first need to load the hopper (8 inch pipe) with mini malshmallows (mine held 15). Then you need to reattach to gun, aim in a safe direction, and blow continuisly through mouthpiece. If all went well all 15 marshmellows should have left the barrel. Mine shoots a good 20 yards.

a good twenty yards? that's sixty feet, an I find it hard to believe you can launch marshmallows twenty yards. please load a video proving the distance then I'll believe you.

look at the physics involved. it works. the impulse of the air blowing leaves it with force for while. the longer the barrel, the longer the distance to a large extent. there are some exceptions though.

I myself have 1/2 in. piping although a different kind of gun,(semi-auto)not that it really matters but I still can't get the marshmellows to go all the way down the hopper! What about making them skinnier or cutting them smaller? Anything else? Any advice would help, Thanks! John

let the marshmallows dry out or use mini-marshmallows. if they're dry, they wont stick together as much. and, as i said there, use cornstarch. i love the stuff for all of my marshmallow-related escapades.

I think cutting them smaller would make them stick. maybe you could put some sort of spring in the hopper to help them along.
