I have finished my second pneumatic cannon and i had an urge to shoot anything i found, so i got the metal bbs used on pellet rifles etc. What i do is i get like 20 and i wrap them in one square of toilet paper they fit snugly in my paintball barrel. If shot at regular 75 psi 80 percent of the bbs get stuck in my tree, they will shatter any glass bottle and they leave big dents on sheetmetal.

Nice!

I have made a taper tube stronger enough for it not to break when it gets shot out but when it hits something it will break and send everything inside it EVERYWHERE!

I have only made one and its full of pop-corn shells.

I would love to test it out and see if its as funny as I hope it to be but my air-compresser broke.

(An cheapo that was like $14)

Im not too disapointed that it broke because It could pump up to 120 psi. :D

(This isn't ment for destruction... Just making mess :)

for my 2 inch diameter barrel,I take 1 1/2 inch PVC, cut it into 3-4 inch long pieces and put masking tape or duct tape over one end and put whatever you want inside,and put tape over the other end. pea gravel and slingshot bb's work nicely.
