A marshmallow gun that can fire fully automatic, or use a "bolt-action" method to reload quickly. Fires Model Magic pellets for increased efficiency and less mess.

For this gun I use model magic pellets(you can use marshmallows, but this is more efficient and doesn't make a sticky mess).
There are two types of pellet that I use:
Ball: This is a small made of model magic that is slightly smaller that the diameter of the barrel. It has to be small enough to roll easily down the barrel, but big enough to keep air from flowing past too easily.
Bullet: This is a bullet shaped pellet that is about the same size as the barrel so that it wedges in. It needs to be between 3/4 of an inch and an inch long(any longer and it will go end over end in the air and decrease accuracy and range, any shorter and it will fip in the barrel and jam). It is better with a pointed end.
Don't use standard modeling clay, as it is too heavy and it will stick to the barrel. You can use types of clay that harden, but they are very hard and dangerous, so be careful.
Try experimenting with other shapes and let me know if you find a good one.

Question, Do the model magic balls/bullets hurt if you get hit by them?

It's almost bolt acton... but it feeds from a clip as well. innovative indeed.
