I have a marshmallow cannon I made for kids parties. It's literally a section of 40mm pvc with a t-junction and a plastic flap on one end. The power comes from the vacuum cleaner in the t-junction (on suck). I've accidentally left a red welt on a kid's face from a marshmallow hitting at 5m. It has real power, and fruit bursts would be suitable ammo for home defence.
Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
Lol. Photos attached. The pipe is 32mm inside diameter. A longer pipe allows speed to pick up more. The flap is a square of icecream lid sewn between a light cotton fabric. The key is the flap: too heavy and the marshmallow gets sucked down the vacuum, too light and it doesn't suck closed after the shot. After 5 years of experimentation I've used the fabric because the force of the projectile would cause plastic fatigue after about 5 shots or tear the duct tape.

Forgive me for being thick, howsitworkaw?
Im guessing you suck in the short bit off the side with flap close to it,pop marshmellow in at long/far away end,it scoots down pipe and because it has momentum it goes past sucky hole and out through flap?????
Sucky hole flap? I was following you right up until you got to that point and then my mind has gone off on a bit of a tangent I think haha
Ive seen vacume (stuffed if can spell the suckymoto word)cleaners that work off a air hose...the jet of air going into a pipe at about 30degrees creates suck in the end of pipe it is scooting past,it wasnt a huge amount of suck but more than enough to clean dust etc out of truck cab,and the particles fall out the other end of pipe onto ground...
