Marshmellow Shooters are basically pop guns that fire miniature marshmellows. They can go up to 30 feet! Ammunition is cheap, readily available, and you can snack while you have battles!
From Wisegeek.com:
A marshmallow shooter is essentially an air-powered pop gun designed to fire foam pellets or miniature marshmallows. The ammunition is packed into a feeding tube and a natural vacuum draws one round into the firing chamber. The shooter either pulls a trigger or squeezes a pump-action handle to fire the marshmallow shooter. If all goes as planned, the marshmallow or pellet finds its mark and hilarity ensues. Accuracy may be a concern for the serious marshmallow shooter enthusiast, but at least the collateral damage should be minimal.
Plans to construct a marshmallow shooter are available on a number of toy-related websites, and the materials should be easily found in hardware or building supply stores. Essentially, a marshmallow shooter is made from various lengths of PVC pipe, held together with connectors and plugs. One length of PVC pipe serves as the feed tube and another serves as the firing chamber. Modifications can always be made to improve accuracy, increase firing power or hold more ammunition.
It doesn't matter how fast you shoot a marshmellow...their density is so light that their impact doesn't hurt. No destruction of household property, no injuries (although eyeware may still be recommended if you're going to battle it out). You can find pre-made blow-guns designed around the miniature marshmallow size, or you can find plans on the internet to make your own Marshmellow Shooter.
