-5/8" steel rebar in a sock to keep from messing with your barrel/ make sure it doesn't tumble.
-balloons filled with water/ ketchup
-roll of aluminum foil with
-all with wadding

the aluminum foil in particular worked well. at the peak of it's trajectory, it began to unroll and drifted down nicely.

i shot a bunch of ice rounds today with my little ball valve pnuematic
they go through 1/8 in plywood and 3+ cardboard boxes
also for soft ammo you can use to shoot inside if you take a piece of pipe that has the same diameter as your barrel and fill it with great stuff and then let it dry it makes a great soft round

also hockey pucks fit well in 3 in pipe with a little wadding

Do remember that you will need a metal gun for that.
PVC gets brittle on cold temperatures and chance of failing is higher.

Slightly dangerous, but the skinny propane bottles fit perfect in 3" pipe.

I try to use empty ones.

@csgunner- all that is left to do is to adapt this, and use full tanks. good find!

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I found that PVC end caps sanded down to fit your barrel work very well. They are not very powerful but they get great distance. My 1st combustion cannon had a 1.5" diameter barrel and I sanded down a 1" PVC end cap and got great results.

I make slugs that fit 2" combustion spud guns, outta a emty/used toilet paper roll/paper towel roll with no paper on it and duct tape 1 side for a seal then get a nestea or snapple lid from a glass bottle and fits perfectly in the tp roll then tape it in there. make sure you fill it with something first! i havent tried it yet but it fits.....I'l try to post pics.
