Confetti Gun

This is a very simple PVC pipe confetti gun. It's an easy project if you've never made a PVC gun before,
and is great for party's. In total, it only cost me about 20 $ CND. Probably less for you Americans.

Step 1 Materials

All the PVC pipe I used in this project was sch 40. it must be sch 40 to withstand the pressure, so make sure to check before buying your tubing.

6" of 1" pipe
2 2" lengths of 1/2" pipe
2 1" couplers
2 1" to 1/2" reducing bushing
1 1/2" slip ball valve
1 1" cap

Epoxy
A drill
a popped bike tube
PVC cement
PVC primer

Im sorry i haven't posted a video of it firing yet, but i'll get to it. What are pop-its? and, im not sure if it can be remotely activated, but if you can find a way to turn the ball valve remotely than i guess yes.

you could use a solenoid sprinkler valve like this guy did.
