Compressed air offers an excellant, safe, preditable way to shoot so many things. In essense, compressed air is just stored energy, and we use it to have so much fun. You can't throw a water ballon over 500 feet, but we can launch it out of an air cannon well past that point. With the correct "wadding" almost anything that will fit down the barrel can be shot from an air cannon.

Powering one of these cannons is easy, either charge the air cylinder from a compressor or "pump it up" with a bike pump.Thats with the high pressure models. I'm currently designing a steady flow low pressure ping pong ball chain gun that relies on a constant low air pressure push with dramatic results.

Air, we take it for granted. We breathe it, compress it and shoot many fun things with. We could'nt live without it!
