Has any one ever used shaving cream cans as ammo,And what is it like?I was thinking because you can also freeze a can of shaving cream whole and then cut it open and use the solid block of frozen shaving cream and if you shot it out of a combustion the heat/friction would cause some of it to foam up and maybe it would be a giant shot of shaving cream!That would be cool,well to me anyway it would be.Tell em what u think.

I've frozen a can of shaving cream solid in a cooler full of dry ice. Once you cut it open (which requires oven mits and a damn sharp knife) you have about a minute until it gets messy. I have no idea what would happen if you tried to shoot the shaving cream bock out of a spudgun. Try it and let me know.

Peace,

I put a shaving cream can in the freeze yesterday and it froze solid and there was no pressure but it didnt expand very well :x i dont no how it will go getting shot out of a cannon.I'll buy another can and shoot it soon.

EDIT:WELL ITS SUCKS!It doesnt foam up much and it is a totoal waste of shaving cream and money dont try it.And it didnt even foam up after being left on the road in the sun so it just sucks.
