OT a bit - Clothespins Peashooters

On our last cruise, we "older" generation had quite a big discussion
regarding the clothespin peashooters we used to make as kids. We
remembered that it took 2 clothespins and a bit of cutting of one of the
wooden pins, but none of us could remember how to make it. The internet
did not help us very much. Now we are going on another cruise in 3
weeks with some of the same people, I would really like to take a
peashooter with me.

Does anyone remember how to make these?

Try this link... they call it a clothespin match shooter but say it was
also used for peas and popcorn kernels... enjoy!

Thanks. This is really close, but I do not recall having to use an
elastic. Going to build one to see, certainly not for matches, but for
beans.
