DIY Remineralizing Toothpaste. How to Make a Mini Cannon From a Lighter « NightHawkInLight. I love this project.
It involves fire, projectiles, electricity, and is easy to put together from commonly available parts. This mini cannon fires airsoft pellets, is fueled by alcohol, and is made almost entirely from parts found in a standard BBQ lighter. The total cost is under $5. About half of the BBQ lighters out there have a divide in the gas reservoir which makes them not work for this project. In case you have trouble finding a suitable lighter, the exact one I use in this video is a ‘grill zone flexible lighter’. Outside of the lighter the only parts that are required are two self tapping screws, one 1/4" diameter bolt, hot glue, and the barrel.
A cotton swab soaked in 90% isopropyl alcohol is rubbed around the inside of the chamber, the rear bolt is replaced, a pellet is loaded and the cannon is ready to fire.

One of the toughest things to find is the Chinese Power player unit (or Super joy thingy), which ever system you find, they all should work about the same.
I was lucky enough to find mine at good will for 6 bucks... can't beat that. Any ways, if you can't find one locally then check on ebay. The only problem is that if you buy one off ebay then it will run you around 20 bucks. All the rest of the stuff you can get either from Radioshack, or once again on ebay.
