Hey guys i joined up with Taofledermaus which a lot of you know from his youtube page. He brought with him a wax slug big enough to fit a 2" air cannon barrel.. Also he brought all his cameras so you get multiple slow motion shots. I wish our aim was on for the first shot, thats all i can say..

Jeff made it, he used regular crayola crayons and put it into that cup that you see us launching it out of. The white clear looking cup.. you just need a sabot that fits your barrel then pour the wax into that and there you go...
