my second mini cannon *improved*

well here is my second mini cannon...this idea i got from the other highliter cannon but slightly improved.....

specs...-->

1. a highly technicaified marker chamber
2. a maroon pen from a local store
3. a roll of decrative and electrical tape
4. two inch screws for spark
5. an ignitor from a long nosed lighter
6. a butane cartridge
7. a bottle of superglue....

ok this cannon is fuel injected and so you have no moving parts to unscrew or something...when i got this idea i was looking at propane injected combustion cannons....so i decided *wow* i can make a butane injected gun....and this one is so powerful that i decided i wasnt going to get hurt by shooting my self again....so i didnt...and it penatrates through a pretty thick cardboard box and sticks into the other side... well enjoy....

very clean mini. hows the preformance? ive never had any luck with the highlighter chambers.

it works like 70% of the times when i click it sometime i have to wait and shake iut if i get to much butane into it..but overall i love this its really fun especially with potatoes i stab a potato and shoot it at my oven and it splattered all overt my kitchen...i thought it would stick...my mom was mad...

best mini i have seen and to solve your problem try putting the butane in in little squirts

Kind of a dumb, salty-ish question, but seeing as I didn't find it in the wiki, I'll ask it.
How did you get all the inky stuff out of the highlighter tube? I've never figured out a good way to do it. I guess it only works well with some?
