 I put one of those match lighter things for safety matches under it and when it shot it shot a flaming ball...awesome...definetly..making another one tomorrow!

[CaseBoy]

 i made 1 but I used "creatures of the sea manatee" or super tiny rubber bands for braces and it works amazing!!!!

[JavaNut13]

Now I know what to do with my massive pile of braces elastic bands!

[sheepborg]

I made one that was almost exactly the same... I used some strike anywhere matches and put it in the opposite way and it flings a now flaming match ant people! :D

[sheepborg]

not to e-z

[Jupitane]

OMG that is flipping aweome.. i just made it!

[mcxznbv]

holy shoot really? that is frickin amazing but besides, i made my own, it is kinda hard to get it t work. im sure it will come with time

[superhornt]

i made 2 today- they are awsome! these are way better than penguns that shoot the same ammo- homemade bb's(glops of hat glue or anything else I can use for pellets) i managed to add a handle, but i can't get any sights. (the top would make any sights useless) these are perfect for the classroom- small,yet with a good range(around 5-10 ft). also, they are just strog enough to annoy people and not hurt them(don't want to get suspended for hurting someone)

[superhornt]

I will try to make one soon- i think i can add a handle and maybe sights, too!

[foxtrot4697]

saweet it worked

[tailboy]

i wonder what would happen if you lit the match then fired it!

[poparoo4]

It would go out. Sorry to ruin your fun lol!

[Jupitane]

I'm designing my own. =D

[arveasheim]

And post it here, of course?

[Jupitane]

LOL so many people copied you!

[arveasheim]

Yes, and I'm very flattered.

[Jupitane]

Guess what? It works for airsoft bbs too!

[Jupitane]

This is awesome, Thank you!

[Jupitane]

LOL it only took me like 6 minutes!

[Jupitane]

I wonder if this hurts?.....

[Jupitane]

Im going to make one but modify it to look like a gun from star wars
or something. =) Then it will look like its shooting flameballs or lazers. XD

[Jupitane]

WOW looks cool. Cant wait to try it!
