Marshmallow Guns
(for shooting Miniature Marshmallows)

Supplies Needed:  (per gun)
    3/4" PVC piping (overall length is 30" or 2.5 ft)
        (2) 2" pieces
        (1) 3" piece
        (2) 4" pieces
        (1) 7" piece
        (1) 8" piece
    PVC joints/accessories as noted below:
        (2) Slip Stoppers
        (2) Slip "T" Joints (make sure they are non-threaded -- you want the Slip Ts)
        (2) 90 degree Slip Joints
    (2) Nickels
    Miniature Marshmallows

Steps to Assembly:

(1)    Insert the 3" piece into a 90 Degree Slip T.  Hold this piece in front of you so the other end of the 3" piece points to the right.  This will be the back of your gun.

(2)    On the other end of the 90 Degree Slip T, insert a 2" piece.

(3)    From here, insert a Slip T joint.

(4)    On the right side of the Slip T joing, insert a Nickle.  This nickle helps guide the marshmallow out the other end of the gun, rather than having it slip to the back.

(5)    After the Nickle has been inserted, attach a 2" piece.

(6)    Next, insert a 90 Degree Slip Joint.

(7)    Attach a 4" piece to the bottom of the 90 Degree Slip Joint.

(8)    To complete the "handle" of the gun, attach a stopper to the bottom.  This completes the back half of the gun.

(9)    Continuing from the left side of the Slip T Joint (step 3), attach the 7" piece.

(10)    Next, attach the last Slip T Joint, and to prevent the marshmallow from going down the wrong pipe again, insert another Nickle into the bottom of the Slip T Joint.

(11)  After the Nickel has been inserted, attach a 4" piece of pipe to the bototm of the Slip T Joint.

(13)  At the bottom of the 4" piece, add a Stopper.

(14)  As the final assembly step, add the 8" piece to the other end of the Slip T Joint.  You now have a Mini Marshmallow Gun made out of PVC pipe!
