Mitcho's old idea revamped.... (Now with damage pics)

Cannons powered by pneumatic pressure (compressed gas) using a valve or other release.

or you can use presta/kenda valves with the tube from a bike shop. It has the thread and nut to tighten it, and you get some free tube with it :D I use them!

Yeah it's spring loaded. Without any air pressure, they are pretty damn hard to pull...but luckerly you only have to pull it like a mill before you get the flow of a modded blowgun. At 50 or more psi, it's really nice and easy to pull and with the pressure behind it, it shoots the washer in it back really quick and so you get some huuuuuuge flow.
