A project with the kiddos.
We have been working on this through the winter, but I decided it was time to finish up in time for spring testing.
Of course the first rule in the shop is safety glasses and shoes for everyone!
We found that the weight of the projectile is critical; a 23 gram marble seems to be the ticket, an 18 gram marble just does not cut it. No wonder folks killed their own armies so often in the 13 hundreds!
Just ordered a bucket of toy soldiers. Let’s see whose army survives this awesome firepower!
