Alternate air powered projectile launchers...

OK Guys, these are not pellet rifles. They are air powered launchers to have fun with if you are a bit creative. Why not take coyotes out with snowballs or frozen water balloons? Use a snowball mortar attack on the neighbors two blocks away? Maybe hit the trees with toilet paper canon powered TP parties?

No, I don't sell this stuff, just got the link emailed to me by some friends who think North Dakota winters must be long and boring for some unexplained reason. They think that without Boise State University nearby there is nothing more to life and are sure I have snow by the acre to make into air powered projectiles.

Take a look and have a good laugh. Maybe some will start a target shooting club with some of this. The guy next to you shoots the field trials with his .177 and hits the target dead center. You line up your air powered mortar and take out 22 competitors in one salvo! No one shoots against you in competition again... if they want to survive! You win every time.

My Daughter lives in Fargo. They brag about snotsickles up there so this looks like fun.





I just watched the annual 'Pumpkin Chunkin' comp on HD Theater and they had some really HUGE air cannons there! Do doubt these were built to handle the pressures of the air with a huge safety factor built in.





Being a Safety Professional, I was glad that they roped off the area and had people at a safe distance away. Especially when that one crumpled under the pressure and collapsed(a catapult). Flinging things is as old as man. Safely flinging things, no matter what the power source is a good thing.
