Hubb017, that noise is the fan.

Nato, of course it'd be possible.

But would the water ballon break under pressure?

I'm assuming it would, due to the fact of the high pressure being applied suddenly...

It is perfectly possible to make a pneumatic water balloon launcher. There would be numerous problems to overcome, but it is always possible. Might just take a little work. Maybe a flow-restriction after you valve and some lubrication in the barrel.

Accurate enough to hit a 2x2 sheet of plywood at 40 yards after a little dialing in. :wink:
