Actually, it's the shape. The shape of the balloon limits the power somewhat. Because a condom is a more basic tube shape, there's no "neck" for the missile to get caught in. Cleaner shot, more power, better accuracy.

BTW, if you consider ONE condom a waste, they must be a precious and rarely used item for you...

j/k :lol:

We used to make "eraser piston guns" out of ink erasers (cut both ends and removed the ink packs) and used the spacer as a piston. So you'd stick a pen tube in one end, make a tight spit ball and stick it in the pen tube, and with another pen, quickly push the spacer towards the pen tube. That made a sharop little "stap!!" sound, and threw the spit ball 30 feet away.
