A toy gun for projecting a fluent material. The gun has a front gun body and a hollow rear gun body, one having a cylinder as a part thereof and the other having a piston as a part thereof, the piston being slidable in the cylinder for a distance greater than the finger barrel of a user. A handle is provided on each of the gun bodies projecting laterally thereof for gripping the bodies for relatively moving them for moving the piston back and forth in the cylinder. A nozzle is provided on the piston or cylinder on the front gun body. Guides on one of the gun bodies engage with a stop on the other of the gun bodies for guiding the gun bodies in the direction of the axes of the piston and cylinder. The guides having cut away portions at the end remote from the end of the gun body relative to which the other gun body is in sliding engagement for permitting rotation of the gun bodies around the axis of the piston and cylinder, whereby the handles can be aligned or can be oriented at an angle to each other around the axes of the piston and cylinder.
