You put a screw(s)in the bottom on the barrel to stop that.

On an update I now have two 200v 470uf capacitators. What could I use them for?

Electrocuting annoying siblings?

Good idea. Thanks for that.

I tried shooting a buddy with snow packed in an ABS combustion cannon (4"x24" chamber to 2"x24" barrel). In retrospect, I'm glad the recoil made me narrowly miss because the heat in the chamber from previous shots made the ice melt into one solid block.

Hazaa! wish i could do that, but i wuld be grounded for a long time lol.

If you really want a cannon just for snow, make sure you get a very large barrel. If I was gonna make a spud gun just for snow, I would spend as little as possible, combustion?. (I'm in Australia, so the price of PVC is alot higher)

ice ball launcher for sure!!! if you really hate your neighbor than make a ice ball launcher my neighbors used a three man watter balloon launcher during a snowball fight a put a hole through my siding on my house and almost broke three windows ice balls are the ultimate mass destruction ammo!!! oh and LGM nice! ya i would build a iceball launcher for sure! now i think i will

Isnt that a bad idea for a cannon made out of materials that deteriatrate (sorry) in the cold? Like thats just asking for trouble.
