    Do Bends in a PVC Pipe Affect Marshmallow Shooting Distance?

    Do you think if I made the last piece on the 4 bend shooter the same length as the last piece on the 2 bend shooter then they would shoot about the same? Would it matter that the front part of the shooter is longer - on the 4 bend? Your answer will help me explain my results. We are allowed...
