Sounds fun, but I’m gonna need a proper barrel, a spring‑loaded firing pin, and a way to keep the smoke from blowing me out of the kitchen. Let’s use an old shotgun barrel, bolt on a pressure chamber, and a safety latch that only releases when I give the go‑ahead. We’ll line it with some rubber for the chickens and a timed fuse for the whoopee cushions. Just make sure we’re not shooting at anyone’s face—trouble’s not funny when it hurts.
