rifle into a high-power water balloon launcher
for this project I stopped by the dollar
for this project I stopped by the dollar store and picked up a pack of a hundred
store and picked up a pack of a hundred
store and picked up a pack of a hundred water balloons for a buck these are the
water balloons for a buck these are the
water balloons for a buck these are the small ones and we only need to fill them
small ones and we only need to fill them
small ones and we only need to fill them up to about a two inch diameter we’ll
up to about a two inch diameter we’ll
up to about a two inch diameter we’ll also need to use these pre-made cannon
also need to use these pre-made cannon
also need to use these pre-made cannon wads that we formed in the candy cannon

okay to make a water balloon cannon
okay to make a water balloon cannon let’s grab our rocket launcher and
let’s grab our rocket launcher and
let’s grab our rocket launcher and unscrew the barrel because this will act
unscrew the barrel because this will act
unscrew the barrel because this will act as our ramrod with the rocket barrel

to inserting a purple water balloon all
to inserting a purple water balloon all right it’s ready for a test so I’ll hook
right it’s ready for a test so I’ll hook
right it’s ready for a test so I’ll hook up my air hose and set the compressor to
up my air hose and set the compressor to
up my air hose and set the compressor to 65 psi holding the launcher at about a
65 psi holding the launcher at about a
65 psi holding the launcher at about a 45 degree angle let’s get ready to fire
45 degree angle let’s get ready to fire
45 degree angle let’s get ready to fire you’ll probably notice the plastic wads
you’ll probably notice the plastic wads
you’ll probably notice the plastic wads falling away to the side and the balloon
falling away to the side and the balloon
falling away to the side and the balloon is really out there so far in fact that
is really out there so far in fact that
is really out there so far in fact that nobody can keep it in sight it easily
nobody can keep it in sight it easily
nobody can keep it in sight it easily clears the white fence over 300 feet
clears the white fence over 300 feet
clears the white fence over 300 feet away well I’m pretty happy about that so
away well I’m pretty happy about that so
away well I’m pretty happy about that so let’s see what else that can do one of
let’s see what else that can do one of
let’s see what else that can do one of my little boys is gonna try out three
my little boys is gonna try out three
my little boys is gonna try out three balloons at once and with the help of a
balloons at once and with the help of a
balloons at once and with the help of a friend it’s a great shot let’s try this
friend it’s a great shot let’s try this
friend it’s a great shot let’s try this out with the candy cannon it’s already
out with the candy cannon it’s already
out with the candy cannon it’s already got a two inch barrel so no
got a two inch barrel so no
got a two inch barrel so no modifications are necessary just Lock
modifications are necessary just Lock
modifications are necessary just Lock and Load the air hose is attached and
and Load the air hose is attached and
and Load the air hose is attached and the valve opens so it’s ready to go all
the valve opens so it’s ready to go all
the valve opens so it’s ready to go all it takes now is a press of the detonator
it takes now is a press of the detonator
it takes now is a press of the detonator button and we’ve got a gorgeous array of
button and we’ve got a gorgeous array of
button and we’ve got a gorgeous array of liquid projectiles if you’re loading a
liquid projectiles if you’re loading a
liquid projectiles if you’re loading a balloon that’s a little too big just
balloon that’s a little too big just
balloon that’s a little too big just give the barrel a little shake and it
give the barrel a little shake and it
give the barrel a little shake and it should slide on down if you want to go
should slide on down if you want to go
should slide on down if you want to go portable just close the manual valve and
portable just close the manual valve and
portable just close the manual valve and disconnect the air hose your system is
disconnect the air hose your system is
disconnect the air hose your system is still charged and ready to fire these
still charged and ready to fire these
still charged and ready to fire these balloon blasters are intense if you want
balloon blasters are intense if you want
balloon blasters are intense if you want a real challenge try shooting the
a real challenge try shooting the
a real challenge try shooting the balloons straight up and catching them
balloons straight up and catching them
balloons straight up and catching them on the way back down
on the way back down
on the way back down this is working great so let’s go bigger
this is working great so let’s go bigger
this is working great so let’s go bigger I’ve just loaded 13 water balloons to
I’ve just loaded 13 water balloons to
I’ve just loaded 13 water balloons to see what happens wow that was a little
see what happens wow that was a little
see what happens wow that was a little weak let’s bump the pressure up to about
weak let’s bump the pressure up to about
weak let’s bump the pressure up to about 90 psi and see if that makes a
90 psi and see if that makes a
90 psi and see if that makes a difference
difference
difference yeah that’s working much better so for
yeah that’s working much better so for
yeah that’s working much better so for multiple balloons we just need higher
multiple balloons we just need higher
multiple balloons we just need higher pressure and look at this now we’ve got
pressure and look at this now we’ve got
pressure and look at this now we’ve got ourselves a water balloon shotgun I’m
ourselves a water balloon shotgun I’m
ourselves a water balloon shotgun I’m gonna push the envelope just a little
gonna push the envelope just a little
gonna push the envelope just a little and fill this barrel all the way to the
and fill this barrel all the way to the
and fill this barrel all the way to the top I counted 17 water balloons in there
top I counted 17 water balloons in there
top I counted 17 water balloons in there and rather than just shoot them I’m
and rather than just shoot them I’m
and rather than just shoot them I’m gonna target my neighbor’s house
gonna target my neighbor’s house
gonna target my neighbor’s house hopefully they’ll understand that this
hopefully they’ll understand that this
hopefully they’ll understand that this is friendly fire but to even things up I
is friendly fire but to even things up I
is friendly fire but to even things up I better hit my own house as well so there
better hit my own house as well so there
better hit my own house as well so there you go that’s how to modify your rocket
you go that’s how to modify your rocket
you go that’s how to modify your rocket launcher and candy cannon into
