It is a bit small, but the girlfriend will probably love it.
@Gizmo, looked at these before... But I prefer something that looks less safe. A basic potato cannon run on lighter gas will probably be more fitting. You'll be able to count the days between my making one & the first visit from the armed response units.
Many years ago I started construction on a projectile cannon using a sodastream gas system. At the time I had hundreds of high density foam balls that I wanted to soak in a petrol/oil mix & ignite as they exit the barrel.
Lost interest in the project after I bought a paintball gun.Canker

My dad used to make zip guns when he was a kid. Back when bangers were bangers, not just the wet fart things we have now.
You need:
A bag of marbles or ball bearings
copper pipe
bangers/air bombs
Take one section of straight copper pipe, pick a diameter that allows your marbles to slide down with about a 1mm gap (max)
Hammer flat one end of pipe & fold over the flattened end on itself.
Bend pipe to form a basic handle
Place banger/airbomb into the pipe leaving the fuse sticking out.
Light fuse, tilt back, place marble/ball bearing into pipe, tilt back.
Point at target & hold hand over the top of the pipe to stop recoil.
Back in the old days ball bearings were fired with enough force to rip through car doors.Canker

ops, I always suspected you had a darker, kinkier side.... That's just not quite up my alley
Sir, you have obviously been researching my neighbours. Sadly it wouldn't be water bombs I'd be firing, but rather dangerous home made hand grenades made from the contents of catherine wheels packed into kinder egg cases sealed with elastoplast tape.Canker
