I originality got the Idea to make this after testing out the "Nerf Shotgun" instructable on this site. Half way though testing I thought "What if there was such thing as a Nerf mine?" I then searched the internet for such a device, but to no avail. Thus I made one, for under $2. 

This is the first generation, I posted this so you guys can improve it. 

You will need:
  
1 Roll of duct tape/ hockey tape
3-4 Small confetti launchers ("Party poppers" they can be bought at the dollar store.) 
1 Wooden board, just use anything lying around.
4 Nails/ Screws 
3-4 Pins (Need one for every party popper.)
2 Spikes (anything that can be stuck into the ground easily.)
Strong string, anything that cannot be ripped apart. 

-Tools
A Drill
Scissors
A Hammer (If using nails)
Needle nose pliers (If pin is not long enough)
A lighter (if using the plastic string I used) NOTE: Not the string I used in the picture.

To take apart the confetti launchers

Pop it first
Take the wrapping off  
Pull down at an angle on the back of it. (The side with the grooves on the outside)

It is pretty obvious how to reset it once the back is off, so I wont explain it.

Step 1: Duct tape

First cut 2 strips of tape and put them across the confetti launcher as shown in the first picture.
Next place 2 strips of tape parallel to the tube,on either side. Over lapping the ends of the previously placed duct tape, as shown in the second picture.

Repeat 3 or 4 times (Try to leave a little room between each confetti launcher, it makes re-setting easier.)

This is the first model of it, I said in the instrucable that I am planning on making it trip wire activated with a motion sensor and a motor. I also said in the last part put some paint on it or something. But I posted it so that the community can improve it. there are a number of directions one can go with this model; and I am only taking one.
