I'll admit that a a cheap mofo and launching full cans of even generic soda is as wasteful as it gets.

I think I would 3D-print a can-sized object so it could be used over and over again.

You ever seen a bowling ball mortar? I seen one guy loose 4 bowling balls one weekend. IIRC he brought 10. Same thing with golfball launcher & just about any king of launcher there are. If you not loose projectiles your not having fun!

I have not seen or heard of it, but I'm about to go down a YouTube rabbit hole to look that up because that sounds REALLY fun !!!

Only thing cooler is a 60mm USGI mortar launching practice rounds.

I remember the condition it was in when he bought it. The cup is the registered piece so he got everything else & had it done once his stamp came back. His Black powder mortar is almost as cool.

The short rounds aren't nearly as exciting though. I wonder why it's called friendly fire.

That is awesome.

Use tennis balls. I think those fit in the can cannon AR-15 uppers and they're not going to break. For something designed for slim cans, maybe a golf ball would work?

3d printing might work too. I think there's a guy on Reddit working on designing a 3D printed 40mm round for use in grenade launchers. I'm not sure how many times it can be reused, but it's a cool concept.

Didn’t some guy get arrested by ATF for making something like that?

Use lite beer cans. Not wasteful at all.

The guy who owns the mortar also had a golf ball launcher on SKS. Used balls were cheap, blanks were cheap and it pointed like a rifle! The balls were plenty visible out to distances.

It was cool in watching the ball hook off target.

Be nicer if that little car was radio controlled with electronic ignition for the shooting.

Isn't that what got that WA dude arrested? Apparently the bore is the issue.

So much illegal thinking in that statement!
