This is the best thing to hit math class since the paper airplane!
It is a very simple gun that can shoot bb's ,airsoft bb's, ball berings ect.
It is acually pritty acurate when you get the hang of it, and it is much more powerfull than my airsoft gun.

Materials:
Tape
15" Balloon
1-1/4" X 3" PVC
Image

Cut off the neck of the balloon and put it on the pvc make sure there are no sharpe edges becouse they will rip the balloon.
Image

Now just tape the balloon on and your ready to go!

Just drop the bb down the barrel into the balloon, strech it back, and let-r-rip.
It also works great for shooting pee's and baby caretts at lunch :wink:

You can do the same with a latex glove and a plastic neck of a bottle.

Lmao, we did that in my math class last year. We used brokein pencils, dam that was funny stuff. And you can also use a water bottle. Cut it in half and do the same thing.

I got nailed in the kidney with one of those. Let's just say the kid who did it had a black eye. ;)

But seriously, those things hurt like a bitch. Just be sure you don't get caught.. ;)

its a joey gun and use the thumb out of ruber gloves works better

yeah theyre called joey guns and its better to use the thumb as eion said and a longer smaller bore barrel like 18" of 3/4" pipe is pretty good and you can shoot frozen peas as well.

Do you really think they have a propper name? Things like that which exist in a subdued, disperse manner typicaly don't have standardized names.
...for what it's worth, considering the above statement, wikipedia lists them as "glove guns"...

Proves my point that we now have 3 different sources who have the "proper name"...

awesome, kids at my school used to have rubber band wars where they would pull back and shoot "hornets" or paper folded up to about 2" long by 1/2" wide bent around the rubber band and shot like a bullet. one kid managed to almost get a third nipple after being shot with one :D .

The funny thing is I have a "third nipple" from a gunsghot wound below my chest below the sternum.
