    To make a gun get an elder stick and scoop the pith out. Then get a piece of rubber and tie it to one end of the stick. Get another thin stick and tie it to the the other end of of the rubber. Insert the stick into hallow. Put a stone into the hallow pull the rubber and it will shoot the stone far away.
