So, this is my little gun, you can build it in 5 minutes, and it costs about $5. $10 if you get the good oarnge juice. There is an article about how to build it here

The way that kid was holding the gun, you could see that coming from a mile away. He is lucky he didn't seriously hurt himself.
That was a very funny clip, and hopefully the kid learned to be a little more careful.

I tried this with a coke bottle and an extremely small barrel and it had a huge kick. It was also really freaking loud especially since the end of the barrel was right next to my ear. I had it pointed down though so it didn't get a nut shot on me lol. I also almost burnt my fingers they looked charred at first, but they weren't burned somehow.
