This instructable will show how I built a ping pong ball gun that shoots 20 or so feet. The pictures are taken of both the rifle with ball storage, and the pistol version which I use for beer pong.

Put LED throwies in the ping pong balls so they light up like flaming balls of fire in the dark. That would be cool! if it could fire it.

I kinda want to modify this to work with balled up socks for Humans VS Zombies. Powered with surgical tubing.

The cats enjoy chasing ping pong balls. Looked in the toy stores for something like this before I finally thought of Instructables. Thank you!

I've got a box of about 200 ping pong balls, and I have been looking for things to do with them for the last couple of years... I'm going to make some of these!

Thanks!

Have you heard of a ball pit?

Like the kind kids play in? I've got a 2 foot by 2 foot box full of ping pong balls... not quite enough for that kind of ball pit. But maybe if I had a few hundred thousand...

That would be cool.
