Tampon Shooter

From the people at Tampon Crafts comes this handy projectile device:

Tampon Shooter

"Inspired by marshmallow shooters, this air-powered tampon gun turns your feminine hygiene products into high-flying projectiles. Have a shootout between rival tampon brands, or use it as a fun alternative to paintball. The tampon shooter has a range of 10 to 20 feet depending on your ammo and lung capacity. The matching bandolier lets you carry a full “clip” (i.e., box) of 20 tampons, so you’ll never be caught short in the heat of battle."

or use it as a fun alternative to paintball.

This needs to NOT be combined with paintball enthusiasts. Especially not any with red paint.

For a moment there, I thought this was posted by a friend of mine you didn't know. The very first thing I thought was: "I MUST show this to [livejournal.com profile] caprine!!"

Funny, a lot of people seem to have had that thought.

What someone needs to do is rig this with compressed air. Maybe a hairspray w/ ignition system as a propellent, though that *does* lend itself to the "Who lit the fuse on your tampon" jokes........

I *thought* you'd get a giggle out of this

My first thought: "Tampoon Cannon".
Second thought, Caprine must read this. ;)

Finally! A gender-neutral use for tampons that doesn't involve plugging sucking chest wounds!

And nosebleeds. Can't forget they're good for nosebleeds.

Oooo, a battle with them could be very bloody... :P

OK, now I have to have a tampon bandolier to wear in the hall costume contest of the next SF con I go to!! ^0^

(chuckle) Funny, first thing I thought when I saw this project was "I need to build this for a con......."
