Marshmallow catapult shooter

AIm: to make a marshmallow shooter and work out what forces are acting on it.

Marshmallow Shooters DIY Kids Craft | Coffee Cups and Crayons
Equipment: paper cup, scissors. ballon, marshmallow 

method:

  1. cut out the bottom of the cup.
  2. cut off the neck of the ballon 
  3. stretch the open end of the balloon over the bottom of the cup 
  4. pull ballon back to the fire marshmallow 
result: 
I cut myself while trying to cut the bottom of the cup. 
the bollon we got was a bit tight so it was harder to put in to the bottom of the cup. 
over all it worked out pretty well at the end, m=the marshmallow went pretty far 

discussion?:
when the marchamallow was in the cup all the forces ( thrust. firction. gratvity and support) were even as it wasn't moving
