4.What's prefab? Donno, and the teacher won't care, as long as it works as it should.
5.Should be on the floor, and I'm still clueless about the trigger mechanism, that's what I need help the most on.
6.Target is on the floor, on a paper with the circles like in the pic, never seen or heard of a 3d target.

So you're trying to land the marble as close to the center of the target as possible? Does it have to stay there? How big is the target? How many shots are you allowed?
The mechanism I was going to suggest involved a high pressure air tank, a breech barrel, a large magazine with 10-15 shots, and a quick flow switch. This would have been capable of punching a marble through a car door, though, and is totally inappropriate for your application. Specificity is your friend!
For you, though, I'd suggest buying a $4 nerf pistol called a NiteFinder, tearing it down, analyzing how it works, and duplicating many of the concepts in it.
