This is rubbish. We used to do that with normal cartons (Ribena etc.) but without any tape on the straw. And those capri sun cartons a weird, (American?) we have normal ones

LOL these are so fun to make. I used to do this whenever I got a capri sun. You can't always find scotch tape though; you can improvise with random pieces of food.

This is ok but it would be better if it could shoot farther

It really is a simple air-compressor gun so with more pressure to stand you could do feasible damage to peoples ankles.

at school (the only place i could think you would need this) you could stab some food (preferibly hard like a carrot or apple) then shoot it, it might work better I'll try tomorow and post back
