I just built my entry, and I must say, it is the most pathetic thing I have ever made... :D

It's funny because no duct tape at all was used on this gun... it is entirely constructed of gaffer tape (YES there IS a difference!). So I even technically got the duct tape part of the rules wrong (does this disqualify it? Perhaps I should stick a little square of duct tape to it??? :lol: )

The ammo I'm using is part of a party popper I had laying around.

I now proudly present:

The Most Unimpressive Pile of Crap on the Entire Site! (until somone else posts a better (worse?) entry :lol: )

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

JAVELIN MISSILE LAUNCHER FINGER FIRED POC
This is the mini javalin missile launcher I was working on for the last 1 minute it is made out of electrical tape, rubber band, teflon tape, and three thread spools. The tools used were a nail heated up with a blowtorch.
The thread spools are taped together with teflon tape and electrical tape to form a chamber and barrel the back is pluged with one layer of electrical tape. The rubber band is used for a finger sling it is tied on with teflon tape. The ignition sorce is a match. A match is lit and is inserted into the precision made match hole to fire this gun.
Although it looks crappy it fired a tape ball 3 inches across the room.

Ok, after all the talk, here's my entry. I call it the red dragon due to it's redness, as well as it's fire breathing tendencies. It's chamber is made from what was a small deoderant can with the top part of a water bottle duct-taped on the end. the barrel is a mutilated water bottle cap and the main part of an expo dry-erase marker. It also shoots a whopping 25-30 ft., making it the farthest shooting combustion entry :D .

supplies used:
-duct tape (red :D )
-pocket knife
-scizors

Surely this is a viable entry, though quite frankly the performance is embarassingly too good for its looks :roll: :D
