Introduction: Extreme Marshmallow Shooters - Sniper Version
I worked in the Museum of Natural Science this summer and wanted to have some fun with my students. I looked up online and found marshmallow shooters, specifically on this site. I liked the designs, but felt that the kids would get bored and I wanted the making of the guns and following "war" to be really entertaining and take a couple of days to complete... so I sat down and invented a rifle any kid would love. Attached is what I finally came up with, along with simpler and cheaper versions. The last is what I found on this site. As for how to use... Like I told most of the kids I worked with... It is like trying to get a hair off the tip of your tongue without using your hands, or playing a trumpet... Try it and you will be launching mini marshmallows at least 100 feet with this rifle!
Good luck and good hunting!

Looks great! I am so going to make one of these. The only difference I might do is making the scope mounted higher. I'd have to play around with it to see for sure. But I love the look. :) Currently I have a Marshmallow shoot like one of these https://www.google.com/search?q=marshmallow+gun&es... I wanted to get something that looks a little more eh... I guess "sexy" is the word I'm looking for... :)

Hello, Silver Wolf, I still don't get the swell-looking stock you came up with; I've looked all over for the 90-degree P-trap elbows, and have only found standard drain traps. Where did you find them--hardware store? Which one? Thanks so much.

Lowes has them. They are pricey compared to 90 degree elbows, but they look better!
here is a link to item:

Thank you! Yes, that type of P-trap looks awesome. I'm going out there today to get 'em. Probably going to go for the silencer, too . . .

What does the suppresser do and how do i make it
Reply 9 years ago on Introduction
Just for looks, 2 - 1/2" couplings with a piece of flex 1/2" pvc electrical conduit. painted 1/2" PVC will work as well. The kids liked it since they thought it looked like a silencer attachment.

looks complicated did you block off some parts and where do you load the marshmallow
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
Not complicated at all... The mini marshmallow fits perfectly into 1/2 PVC and blocking is necessary at the points indicated on directions. I used nickels since they fit perfectly into the fittings. Once you build one yo will see that you can basically make one in about 10 minutes.

I built one and added a few of my own modifications, and dang. This thing is so manly.
