Particle thrower question

Hi:

I’m working off Norm’s plans but checked Stefans plans and Venkman’s as well, and didn’t see a definitive answer to this. Anyone know how long the acrylic tube that sticks out the end of the particle thrower is? And is the diameter 3/4"? Thanks.

I’ve never seen a definitive measurement for the length of the whole tube, but the length of the part that sticks out is pretty easy to deduce.

When it’s retracted, as shown here in Norm’s plans, the exposed tube is only as long as 1) the the trigger tip, and 2) those two metal/plastic bands. The length inside the gun will depend on how long you want it to extend, if you want to extend it at all.

image this is going to show you the length that sean used for his plans. this is what I used as a general reference. just look at point B
