i really don't know if anyone tried shooting the liquid in a glowstick out of a cannon before?
i remember reading about a post dealing with pouring the liquid out on wadding or something like that,
but has anyone thought about putting the liquid in a capsule and shooting it?
i've made one but i'm really curious if anyone else has made such a thing?

Its a good idea, I don't know why anyone should have not tried it before.

instead of putting it in a capsule wouldn't it make more sense to shoot the glowstick itself?

I have drilled out a golfball and put the glowstick in the golfball and shot it, pretty cool!!

it would but it doesn't get the "splat" effect that a capsule has

What would you use as a capsule?

What bore size? Combustion or Pneumatic?

Nice, this would be interesting for recovering long range projectiles...

i have filled empty pill capsules with the glow stick liquid and shot it out of a mimi combustion before, one of them hit a tree branch and made a nice star affect on the grass, was pretty cool
