Quoted: Hey you may want to put some screws in there to i had one come apart.

I screwed mine together after the barrel blew off and the flame licked my arms. It burned all the hair off both of my arms. Not to mention I had to scale the fence to find the barrel.
It kinda happened like this. "Look mom, we've shot these before, and they're perfectly safe!" BOOM! "My arm! My arm!" Followed closely by running around in circles putting the flames on my arms out. No real damage, but I learned that PVC glue doesn't work real well.
Also, I learned never to shoot the thing by holding it between your legs. One time the screw on cap shattered, sending sharp pieces of PVC everywhere. Thankfully, I was holding the gun just low enough that it missed my boys. Of course, there were a bunch of cute girls watching at the time, so we were a little embarrassed.
Whatever anyone here does, DO NOT SHOOT IT AT A PERSON! We shot a potato at a 2x4 once, and the board shattered. These things are definitely not toys.
