Beer Can Launcher

It's interesting to note that the company that sold that is (was?) owned by the same parent company that owns Edmund Scientific, VWR International. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VWR_International

Empty cans (particularly aluminum although at the time these would have likely been steel) lose velocity pretty quickly and would pose little risk if it was operated correctly--of course much of this would depend on how and when the beer can was emptied.

I have trouble believing that a 22 short would have the umph to hurl any can 20 feet let alone 120. There's more powder in a medium size fire cracker.

"Bartender, another Bud Light down here, please." "Coming up." Bang! "Oops."

Drink one, shoot one. Drink one, shoot one. Sounds like one dangerous afternoon.

Is that a can of Carling Black Label? I wonder if Mabel has retired yet.

I understand the people at Recycle / Reuse weren't too happy about the new re-distributing of their precious aluminum. Or are you saying that the skeet-ranges actually love having aluminum all over their grass?

I find plinking with .22LR primer fired quite relaxing and fun. There is no powder in them and you can still find them in stock relatively cheap. They don't have the ummph though for a semi-auto.

A pie tin with water, a cat food tin and a standard black cat firecracker can achieve a launch of about 30 ft in the air.

For the records, GFinKS can be on MY A-Team, any time!
