Is it this stuff? Looks like PVC.

What are you using as ammunition?

It helps if you thinks of it more as tomato and noodle soup than any kind of actual pasta.

Dollar General actually sell 16oz cans of nacho cheese sauce. Those make one HELL of a mess... I can also fire oranges and apples and those little ornamental pumpkins.
