Obviously the weapon is not the tube... it’s Timpa! He’s dangerous no matter what he’s holding in his hands!

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES!  Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“  -Jesus the Noodler

     You could, of course, put egg sized stones in it for a more lethal ammo or you could shoot gravel for a shotgun effect.

That's the next thing to try. Put a stone in in and spin it round to release. Kind of like a solid sling Cheesy

I've done that before with PVC tubes before.  It actually works quite well.
