Kinda cool idea, makes gun more comforable

Build a homemade water gun or water balloon launcher and tell us about it.

Kinda cool idea, makes gun more comforable

So I had this idea. Maybe you could put pipe insulation over the part of a homemade that you hold, or that you put under your shoulder, so it would be more comfortable to hold. I used to make boffers (padded bits of PVC that people beat the crap out of each other with), so that's the only reason I thought of it.

Sounds like a good idea. Actually, I can think of a bunch of methods that would work, but they haven't been put into a list yet:
- regular tubing
- a carved wooden grip
- a grip you got elsewhere
- insulation, as you said
- that tennis racket grip stuff
- a PVC grip shaped after being heated
- a PVC tube with PVC semicircles glued on, as with some Nerf homemades

Good ideas all around.

While this has not been recommended often, I have been told that bike grip tape is absolutely the best for making any water gun handle more comfortable. I haven't seen the product in real life, but I do know it exists and from what I have been told it works great. ;)
