Seeing that Joey is a bigger threat than Mark, and considering that Mark has never seen the shadowy figures responsible for dumping the barrels, Elmer aims at Joey and takes his shot. Unfortunately he brought the wrong gun and instead of shooting bullets, he hits Joey with a WHAM. (Joey should consider himself lucky that the gun wasn't loaded with the cartridges that have exclamation points.) Too far away to get to Joey before he hits the ground (and because he isn't sure whether the shooter has any more words loaded in that gun of his), Mark throws the Jack Elrod Ball in order to try and cushion Joey's fall in an effort to protect the helpless blades of grass and foliage he's about to crush.
Arriving just in time, the Jack Elrod Ball keeps Joey from doing too much damage to the plants by bouncing him off to the side. This gives Elmer another chance to shoot, and unfortunately Joey takes the full brunt of this second wave of letters. Thinking that it's now safe, Mark runs to Joey's side to see what he can do. Joey passes out soon after, overcome by the thought of having to clean the ink stain from his shirt after the POW caused the pen in his pocket to explode, leaving Mark to lug him back to the Jeep. Hopefully it will still be there and hopefully it won't have been rigged with explosives. Otherwise, it could be a pretty long walk back to civilization.
