I just got dones testing the new $19.99 zing ring launcher that I got from k-mart. It does shoot between 150-90 feet, I measured it and its average was about 120ft as stated on the box. It's essentially a bigger vortex ring shooter with similiar charactersitcs except that you ahve to manually let go of it. It is propopelled by 2 surgical tubing pieces in which tension is increased by twisting it and pulling back then releasing it.
Pics will be up soon, as soon as I can get a pic on image shack.

Ahh... PICS PICS!

Snaped first found it at Meijers and onsale here and posted about it here.

I would rather make one from scratch just for fun.

Ya you calod easily just from surgical tubing and some pvc and a dinner plate. I was just bored. You could easily attach some thicker surgical tubing and/or some more tubing bands to it for better range/accuracy. Thanks for the pic jangadance. here's a better pic:

Crap that thing is huge.

I'll have to vist my local Meijer's.

How much power does this thing have? Does it distort the human body?

[Viper]

kmart has it also, I have yet to shoot it at someone. I am working on a hook with a trigger for a cocking mechanism.

Holy shit that thing is huge!

Ugly though.

Interesting little design there, i might pick one up sometime soon.

Looks like a Vortex Tornado Bazooka.

How durable is it, looks like its made of foam.

[Viper]

iT'S ABOUT AS DURABLE AS NERF GUN, the foam is quite hard, probably has as much durability as any nerf gun.

[okto]

it's made of STYROfoam, so far less durable than the crosed-cell nerf ammo is made of.

[Viper]

Ya but it pretty hard, though it scratches very easy. It would be hard to harm the function of the weapon though.

How much do they suck with wind?
