Well designed, a tennis ball fired from a tennis ball cannon could knock a teen aged bully clean off his ten speed.
Once he got up, he would dust himself off, leave the neighborhood, and not return.
DAMHIKT.
We made our tennis ball guns out of Pringles cans and lighter fluid. Never shot a bully though.

Then we found that the frozen juice cans worked very well with ping pong balls.
How did this work?
Apparently I am missing something!
Well, the cans we had were just the diameter of ping pong balls. We just taped them together.

Again I admit my ignorance - what do frozen juice cans and ping pong balls taped together become? Ammo for the spud gun?
Why are ping pong balls taped to frozen juice cans?

Oh, now I understand where you're coming from. The ping pong balls are the ammo. The concentrate cans are the cannon. You know, the little cans with frozen juice concentrate.

Got it!
It must have taken several of the cans to make a barrel.
When I was young I actually conceived an idea of a spring loaded 'gun' that would fire .22 brass shell cases but didn't have the resources or much else to bring it to fruition.
