thanks for the idea lol I'm gonna fill those with water and freeze em. There are a bunch of different sizes so you could probably find one to fit in 2" or 2.5"

I doubt that there is a universal 'standard' for christmas ornaments, if you are going to shoot them why not use wadding, eg paper towels, tissues etc.

Yeah 2-2.5 sounds like a good size. I wouldn't shoot a plain one without ice in it, the force might shatter the glass befor eit even leaves the barrel, and that would be no fun.

the ones have on my tree are larger than a tennis ball....and I dont have calipers.

they do seem like they'd fit in sleeved 3"

but ya they're pretty cheap right?

Well here in Australia we are in a big drought, and farmers are paying a fair price for water. Some people are even stealing water!!!
