This is my newest version of my tracer round which has a parachute attached to it so you can use it at the 4th of july or something like that.

lemme hear what you think.

I should make a couple of those for my mortar, they'd be pretty cool. Great thinking.

It's from a toy soldier thingy that had a weird kind of parachute that has fine mesh instead of strings (so it doesn't get all tangled up).

Well, with my cannon it goes about 150 ft straight up before it opens. It usually deploys at the max height if I packed it in the round right.

Are you firing straight up or at an angle? At an angle, the parachute would probably deploy too soon. Nonetheless, it is still a fantastic idea.

hmm that looks pretty good the only thing is i wouldnt want to lose on because it probly took u like (30 mins?) to make one...but although if u were firing with the light on i suppose it would work...how heavy is it?? looks cool....bye....hmmmhmm....

bboymatty-how big is your cannon? It seems like it would have to be pretty **** small not to fit a bouncy ball or an easter egg, or if those are too big..then take my idea with the shotgun shells in originunknown's original led tracer ammo post....

mine is 15mm.

Small is what i hear you saying, but you will understand when you see my competition entry.

Wow your right...that is pretty small...Hmm what could you use for a tracer round...lemme think..

Are you sure a shotgun shell won't fit?? I don't have one on me...But looking at a ruler it seems like it may...But I'm not sure.. I'll look at my house when I get home
