Dowel running the length of it right down through the handle. Used string to compress the foam. Fed it into the tube and unwound so the foam expanded to wedge it in there so the tube can be replaced.

      Reminds me of our nerf rules:

      1. Always aim for the face
      2. Don’t get shot in the face
