Take aim and fire with this delicious weapon.

You Will Need

  • Measuring tape
  • 2 feet of ½-inch internal diameter PVC pipe
  • A marker
  • PVC-pipe cutters
  • Two elbows
  • Two end caps
  • Two T-connectors
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Safety goggles
  • A hacksaw (optional)

Always wear eye protection when using the marshmallow gun and never aim at anyone’s face.

How To Make a Marshmallow Gun: Cut the pipe

Step 1: Cut the pipe

Measure, mark, and cut the pipe into one 1-inch segment, five 3-inch segments, and one 7-inch segment.

Use a hacksaw if you don’t have PVC-pipe cutters.

Step 3: Build the mouthpiece

For the mouthpiece, put the one-inch piece in the bottom of the T-connector. Connect an elbow to the other side of the piece, followed by a 3-inch segment. Attach one end of the T-connector to the 3-inch piece from the handle.

How To Make a Marshmallow Gun: Build the barrel

Step 4: Build the barrel

On the remaining end of the T-connector, put a 3-inch piece and another T. A 3-inch piece with a cap goes in the bottom of the T, and the 7-inch piece goes in the third T opening to serve as the barrel of the gun.

Make sure that the pieces are pushed together tightly. Friction holds the gun together, and maintaining air pressure is critical to shooting the sugary ammo.

Step 5: Shoot the gun

Go shooting! Put on eye protection, point the gun in a safe direction, and load a mini-marshmallow into the mouthpiece. Wrap your lips around the mouthpiece and blow to give the gun a quick burst of air. Pow!
