So I was at line in 7-11 store and noticed .99 cent aluminum slurpee straws... (in a box near the register).

Second time I saw them I had to get one.
It's 10 1/4" long, Atleast 3/8" ID (no calipers here, .40(???!!!)),
fairly thick walled and seamless.

Seems really odd...wondering if anyone has seen them, tested one or has thoughts on them??? 8)

I have a green one myself but never thought to try it as a barrel or a chamber. Unfortunately I probably never will either.

I make a lot of cannons that I fail to post mostly because they suck or I forget about them. I have made a marker gun with a green one and took it to 400 psi. It seemed fine but i have to find it. It is somewhere in my room
Yeah, it's that important.

I have been thinking about using mine as a chamber myself.
Could easily hold pressure in the hundreds of psi's.

You could go smaller, I've made 2.5 and 3mm penguns.
