spit ball gun

For ammunition, it uses gray tube spacers with toilet paper mixed with spit. Use 2 yellow rods to mash it inside until it's a tight packed bit of toilet paper inside the gray spacer.

It shoots about 15 feet.

In the comments, Max wanted to know more about the ammunition. The rounds are not shown in the picture, but they are small gray tube spacers. Each one gets packed about half full with the toilet paper and spit mixture. To load, you pull back the gray piece on the rear of the gun and that pulls back the plunger that is inside the barrel. The trigger will then click into ready to fire position. You insert the round into the top of the gun, right at the base of where the blue rod is sticking up. You click the trigger to fire, then pull back the plunger again and push the blue rod to the side. This will eject the spent cartridge. Then push the ejecter to the opposite side, insert a new cartridge, and you're locked and loaded.

p.s. Have fun. Don't shoot your eye out!

Don't shoot that at your mom, for fear of losing all your Knex.

Which gray spacer does the spitball go in?
