A water gun is a lot of fun to use and proves that not every toy needs to run off of batteries or have electronic components. Making your own water gun, or "Water Weenie" from surgical tubing will let you quickly join the ranks of warriors using homemade water guns. The surgical tubing can be from a surgical supply shop and the other components needed can be found around the house or at a hardware store.

Put some newspaper down on a table. Tie a knot at one end of the surgical tubing. Put the surgical tubing down on the newspaper.

Unscrew the disposable ink pen and discard the internal components. Screw the disposable ink pen back together.

Hold the tip of the disposable ink pen that is at the end of the surgical tubing against the garden hose nozzle. Turn on the water faucet connected to the garden hose. Take the disposable ink pen away from the garden hose once the surgical tubing has been filled with water.

TIP

Do not spray people in the face as it can sting their eyes.

WARNING

Filling the surgical tubing with too much water can make it burst and the tubing will strike at you.
