I've shot a water-filled tennis ball through an old TV before. No proof, though, as the video has since been deleted.

Nice, but why is it introduced as a combustion cannon with an air tank?

The word obliteration comes to mind Fnord :D
Very nice!

Edit: I think that is what he is using as a chamber JSR.

I did the same thing to a TV we had once,off a ricochet.A perfect marble sized hole in an old TV which my dad was planing to use in our spare room for visitors....He was pissed off...And there was a distinct hissing sound when it happened from the vacuum in the TV tube.

Because the combustion chamber IS an air tank. I modified one so I could fit 3" pvc to it.

I'll see if I can find a date on it.
(Will edit this post in a bit.)

I couldn't find a readable date on it anywhere, but after inspecting the flyback (which is completely unharmed by the way), I'm willing to bet it's probably older than I am. It also lacks RCA jacks, and has 50million doodads that you have to adjust with a screwdriver.

There was a large, shiny 400v capacitor that was destroyed. I was a bit dissapointed about that.
