Never seen one of these before. So... how does it work and how do you hold it? Is it one of the hip-firing ones?

Ah, so I was all wrong... you stick the back end in the dirt like a mortar?

This is one of the coolest thing I've seen posted here.

Amazing, this is the kind of stuff they need to teach in school, not, they made a stick, and they made another one of iron, and they had a little fun. I can't wait to see how you do.
