Yo! I bet some of you guys play paintball (really? None of you?). Anyways, my friends and I were kicking around the idea of making an epic arena for it because I have alot of random junk laying around and quite a bit of empty space. Problem is, we'd het hurt paintball is expensive. Then we thought of marshmallow guns, which have numerous advantages to paintball (marshmallows are cheap, easily available at most stores, and bio-degradable (for an outside arena), softer). Simple pvc blow guns are cheap an easy to make, but I'm the kind of person who likes power. Power.... So now I'm looking into building/buying a marshmallow shooter that functions similar to a pneumatic paintball gun. Turns out, there's not alot of info on that :( . So now I turn to the mechanically inclined people of Head-fi for advice! If we can come up with anything worthy of building, I'll post updates and dedicate the Epic mmgun to the fine members here at Head-fi!

Beats out the Bose Triport, the HD 202 and HD 435s, the AT M35 and AT M50. Just try it and see. Extremely comfortable (I wear mine while commuting and studying, for about 5+ hours a day). Bought...

I never thought it was possible for such rich sound from a headphone. Simply amazing headphones.

When I first put them on on I though that the highs will blow my head off. My ears got tired after 10 - 15 minutes. I though I would throw them out of the window. But having read some good...

Whoa! Nice find Pokefan! I will look into this one. I would prefer one that can run off of compressed air bottle, this one looks like its one shot, then refill air chamber. I'll check out the plans an see if it can be "modded" :P
Any other designs people? Lets put our heads together and build the most epic mmgun ever!

That looks awesome, and since it's powered by compressed air already, I can't see it being hard to adapt to CO2...

This project has been abandoned for now.... I had too many things going on at once. I'll get back to it though.
