^UMMMM, OK. Im thinking that there might be a design flaw here^
I just built a mini last night, I brought it to work and 3 people have asked me to make them one, might be cool little xmas ( holiday- for the politically sensitive) gifts. Im trying to get one of the guys to come on the forums, he's always asking questions. I told him to join and he would be able learn alot here if he was interested in spud gunning.But none the less I'll probably build him one anyway.

I made one out of a pill bottle, one with a gatorade bottle(bigger barrel though) and just made one at 2 in the morning with a highlighter and pen tube. The 2 small ones are great, they send little toy pieces flying around bouncing off the walls

i just have a hole in the side of my combustion chamber, spray some hairspray in there than stick a bbq sparker in the hole thats only just big enough to fit the bbq sparker and fire it.
you have to have the right amount of hairspray in proportion to oxygen though otherwise it wont work.if you have a spark thing attached to a battery then u just open the back of the gun and spray some propellant then close it real quik again.

You would think that the larger size of the pill bottle would give that small pen barrel a run for its money. I think i'll try to slap one of these together today except slightly larger. meby so its capable of shooting marbles, and instead of pill bottles, possiably a water bottle? Alright lemme go see what i can whip up.

If you want to shoot marbles just make a small cannon out of small PVC fittings. Pill bottle guns are just for a speedy/ cheap construction. Just go down to the hardware store and pick up some PVC.
