You won the bet, didn't he every body?

[parafoil]

Not clear on how to shoot the ammo?
I'm guessing you shot your ammo like its a rubber band?
Hold the side of the bottle top and pull back on the balloon.
Seems like this could be fun with a larger version to shot paint balls
Maybe using a Gatorade bottle top....

ya u are right, you just pull the balloon back while holding the bottle top with another hand.
it works good with a Gatorade bottle top also. :-)

[TubaJ446]

Yeah, I think I'll use the gatorade b/c them little things HURT!!!

[Plo Koon]

why wouldn't you just use rubber bands instead?

[popcorn4lunch]

you could, but you might as well use all of the balloon.

[shebden1]

my kids make something similar with toilet rolls, and, yes, they DO HURT!!!

[popcorn4lunch]

ya, I've made those before too. just as painful, but dont hold up as long.

Post d pics of it

[twsimpson]

But how are you supposed to use the gun?

[neodymium]

i assume you put something in it, like a small pebble, and pinch it like you would a sling shot, pull back and release.

I have seen larger scale models with the same concept when i looked up "how to make an airsoft gun" and it worked the same way.

[serisoulywhocutthecheese]

i like your work too. i didnt think this thing hurt so i made one and shot myself in the foot with it... it hurts :)

[popcorn4lunch]

ya, i didnt think it would hurt at first either, but it does! try shooting some sand out of it, NOT AT FACES! :)
