Joel did it. It was a cloud-like cannon with a hole in the back where he connected a shopvac.

Well, he did give me an idea....... i did the math and a ping-pong ball at around 200 FPS is like an airsoft bb......... airsoft artillery peices anyone? (not like id want to get hit with it......... but............
Pingpong balls have serious air resistance compared to weight though... do they fly straight at all?

But then wouldn't lead bend when it hits something and not fit in your barrel anymore? Sounds like fun!
