I have a handheld version of this cannon that's about as big around as a basketball and it's super weird trying to aim it at empty cans and stuff. Load of fun, though!
Edit: Found an amazon link, boys. $22 and you can have literal hours of fun. https://www.amazon.com/Imagine-Toys-toys-CANWM-2990/dp/B00006IJIC
Time to buy a Thermos before they become illegal.
And maybe one of these while you're at it.
I believe it's called an "airzooka" my family use to have one which, when filled with smoke, would give crazy big smoke rings.

If you go with just paint in water balloons there are slingshots designed for them. They’re pretty simple but can launch a balloon pretty far. Forgive the Amazon link but it’s what comes up if you google water balloon slingshot. https://www.amazon.com/Launcher-Slingshot-Catapult-T-shirts-Snowball/dp/B07FC89NXT
How does this compare to the Air Cannon.
Edit: Maybe I should rephrase... how is this in comparison to the air cannon. Sell it to me.
Super low-tech solutions that I found work great, for large debris, a handheld pool skimmer. For small pieces of leaves, grass, etc this style of squirt gun. Super easy to just reach in with it and suck up the debris and squirt them into the yard
I made a "Water Balloon Launcher" out of surgical tubing and duct tape. Launched a rock ductaped to a string and was able to get it on the third try at 85-100ft.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Launcher-Slingshot-Catapult-T-shirts-Snowball/dp/B07FC89NXT?ref_=ast_sto_dp
cant find the exact one but its something similar to this https://www.amazon.de/BONTEC-speaker-adjustable-tiltable-swivelling-black/dp/B079GVRDWF/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=2FZOQMOAB8ECK&keywords=lautsprecher+halterung&qid=1670215303&sprefix=speaker+mounts%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1-spons&sp_cs...
It's a two-man job, but if you get an air cannon you can absolutely assume the position, fart, and have the "gunner" shoot the fart to the other side of the room
Uhh no I didnt, if you can read, and yeah the 80s and 90s had a big skinhead scene. Which really shouldnt be news to anyone. Did you bump your head? Maybe youre just like 16 and dont know that? Idk.
Also no one made it. Its called a water balloon launcher and you can buy them on Amazon, theyve been around since maybe the 60s? Are you from another planet or are you a real deal basement dweller? Who doesnt know what a water balloon launcher is lol?

I used something similar to this for a makeshift enema syringe https://www.amazon.com/Boley-Super-Water-Blaster-Soaker/dp/B079ZWB3PM?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A1TAJSPBHYIH03&th=1 and It was a lot cheaper.
It's funny that on a trip to Florida we had some soda cans pop open in the car that left residual soda everywhere, and I got the sumps cleared with these dollar store squirt toys (see below for reference):

worked like a charm
I bought some for my kids last summer. Here's a current listing:
> The kits are the most scout friendly to build (even lions can shape balsa easily), but the race itself is full of logistical problems and catastrophic failures that tend to leave more than a few scouts upset.
I think this is the best description. We ran it one year and it was our least successful race. There is just too much stuff to worry about and at least 2 exploded at the starting line while others fell off the track and smashed on the ground. It just wasn't fun.
Raingutter Regatta is much better. This year we switched to using these water blasters and it was very successful. No need to worry about kids blasting their covid breath everywhere. :)

I wonder if water balloon slingshots might be effective means of delivering Molotovs. You’d have to underfill to ensure they don’t accidentally pop during launch, but I’ve used one like this to launch water balloons pretty far with decent enough accuracy to hit a tank (literally, kinda. We snuck a couple with us on deployment to Iraq and got in a bit of trouble for launching water balloons at people around the base heh).
These aren't a bad choice either. Also no FFL required!
At the beginning of the school year we had a pack meeting and our council set up a geofenced ad on Facebook. We had examples of the stuff we planned to do during the year, so a pinewood derby track set up for the kids to use, a raingutter regatta track (with water blasters to use instead of their breath to move the boats), a tent for the kids to set up and a rocket setup that the Arrow of Light scouts built. Our rep from council got stuck in traffic, but she had also brought some activities for the scouts. We didn't get to use them since it got a bit hectic right around start time. We also sent out an email to our school since we just cover one school.
That was it so far. I'm trying to see if I can get the new families to help recruit their kids' friends too.
Those syringe style water shooters sold at the dollar store are great for sucking up grit from the bottom of the tub. Effective, inexpensive and don't take up much space.

> Of course that requires getting intimate with the tank.
Is it possible to use something like a pool super soaker filled with latex to do this from 30-40'?
Try these You can definitely get them cheaper at the Dollar General or the like.
Well...yes...yes you can! I bought one and my ex-wife hates me for it.
