i really don't know if anyone tried shooting the liquid in a glowstick out of a cannon before?
i remember reading about a post dealing with pouring the liquid out on wadding or something like that,
but has anyone thought about putting the liquid in a capsule and shooting it?
i've made one but i'm really curious if anyone else has made such a thing?

whats left, it did what it was made for, and its reusable, if you can find it (which you will unless you shot it at a distance) all you have to do is remove the broken cap and add a new one

the camera couldn't capture the huge mess that this capsule left, you can only see the big splats

this is the capsule im talking about 2 caps in the end and 1 layer of electric or duck tape on the side to give it the extra tight fit

Its a good idea, I don't know why anyone should have not tried it before.

instead of putting it in a capsule wouldn't it make more sense to shoot the glowstick itself?

it would but it doesn't get the "splat" effect that a capsule has
