Marshmallow Gun Ambush

Filed Under Fun With Marshmallow Guns | Leave a Comment

When it comes to fun, the marshmallow gun is a hard toy to beat. Full with edible ammunition that is just about everyone's favorite treat at times, these marshmallow shooters are a hit among young and old alike. It is a great prank to have people lying in wait to riddle them with marshmallows while they are completely unexpectant of what is about to occur. Indeed fun for the entire family.

This video below is a great example of the ambush. Granted it is a complete parody, it is none the less very funny and a joy to watch. A dude is walking down the hall with the premise that he needs to deliver a package to a company. Think of it like UPS or FedEx has one of their guys making the rounds and deliver on his normal route. From there he opens the door to deliver the package and the lady, in a sly voice, asks if he wants to be paid in marshmallows. How sinister, the rest really has to be seen. Check it out below:

I personally like the final touch of a point blank shot to the groin for the package dude. To be fair, it looks like it perhaps even hurt for real. And there you have it, a scene that could be repeated by just about anyone. Have a group of marshmallow gun toting friends hide behind a desk or similar obstruction and lie in wait, much like the lion in the savannah grasses. Once your prey comes by, WHAM! Marshmallows start flying like they are going out of style. This kind of reminds me of something that would happen on a show like Punked or Candid Camera. So go out and plan your marshmallow gun ambush today for a round of hilarity tomorrow!

How Fun Is The Marshmallow Gun?

When it comes to fun that the entire family can have, there isn't a whole lot more fun than a marshmallow gun. Born out of some PVC innovation, the marshmallow gun is both inexpensive and fun. Add in the fact that the materials needed for making a marshmallow gun are readily available at just about any hardware store you can find and you have a great side project that is fun for the entire family. In addition, the ammunition you use to hurl towards your targets is also a common commodity, marshmallows!

Of course there are commercially made marshmallow guns as well such as the marshmallow popper and others that you can find on Ebay and Amazon if you don't want to make your own. In fact they have ones that have crazy designs and cool graphics if that is your deal. No reason to have a run of the mill marshmallow gun when you can have a custom made one or one that you personalize yourself. The sky is really the limit in customizing the gun. You can go with a princess type for a girl (or Disney, Hannah Montana, or similar) or a GI Joe one for a boy (or Power rangers, Spongebob Squarepants, or similar).

The beauty of the marshmallow gun is it truly is fun for the entire family. While it does shoot projectiles, it is a soft marshmallow which is great because it really can't hurt anyone. Have a marshmallow war with your family or chase each other around outside and make it a game similar to paintball but with soft marshmallows instead.

On top of all this, who doesn't love eating marshmallows? It seems that just as many make their way into your stomach as those that get shot. An open bag of marshmallows doesn't stay that way for long it seems. At least not in my house. My kids can scarf down a full bag in the time it takes me to walk across the kitchen I swear!

If I haven't convinced you by now I would encourage you to talk to friends, neighbors and acquaintances to see how they feel about it. The odds are that one or more of them have one at home and will give you a rave review for how fun it is. If not, go out and make one yourself and see what you are missing out on. Cheap, happy fun for the entire family can be had with a marshmallow gun anytime.
