And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Tater cannons are fun we used a big wad of compacted paper balls wrapped in tape. Gave mine up when I found out that they are considered a p!pe b0mb.FTATF
After our last water balloon fight with 200 balloons there won't be anymore balloons in my yard. I'm still picking up the pieces. I guess I could shoot them at the neighbors down the street.
I noticed some egg shells on a wall a few years ago and then random egg and shells in the streets around my house. All the streaks pointed to one big house a block away. I would bet something like this was used.
On senior skip day, Sumdood fired a few of these water balloons at 2 teachers & 1 AP from 2 parking lots away. Managed 4 rounds in 15 seconds, scored 2 hits & 2 splashes. Got away clean, and no one squealed. Graduated 3 days later.
In my misspent youth, I belonged to a caving club. We would make these out of surgical tubing and a funnel, thus the name "funnelator". One of the main attractions at a gathering of caving clubs were the funnelator wars. You'd have 5 or 6 teams shooting at each other. It was best to stay alert for incoming ballons as they would hurt. Smart people stayed back a ways.
If you Quik-Clamp a couple of 6'-8' pieces of black pipe to the handlebars of an old metal playground merry-go-round, and drill a couple of end caps to install eyebolts, then attach them to the poles, you have anchor points for a water balloon mortar with a 360° arc of fire.
Hell, lob some potatoes , make it count son.
ReplyDeleteA potato can bash in somebody's head from one of these things.
DeleteThey'll duck next time.
DeleteBuild a potato cannon, all you need is some PVC tubing.

ReplyDeleteJust saying.
That's what we homebuilt in the 70's and mounted inside a VW bus to create a door gunner for drive by pranks... we were wholesome kids
