There are many things that you could possibly think of to put in an air cannon. I have put quite a few odd things in some of mine and have many videos on the subject.

Play list here:

However I think it might be a good idea to discuss this. If you watch my YouTube channel you will have seen me shooting all sorts of weird looking bullets out of my air cannons and I don't really talk about what I am shooting much. One sort of round I shoot a lot because I can make many variations of is bullets I call full paper jacket FPJ. These are exactly what they sound like, instead of a metal jacket that have paper jackets and have just about anything in them.

Some videos I have used them in:

As far as I know I am the first one on the internet to come up with the concept. These are great because they are very cheap to make and can be made for a great variety of task. I have gotten them to have the ability to completely disintegrate at certain distances witch is great for people who live in neighbor hoods and don't want a bullet hitting their neighbors house or window but still wants something that will have a huge impact on a target. I usually fill mine with a very finely powdered dry dirt. This is also great if you wanted a shot gun effect by using stones in them and only crimping one end of the jacket closed. These rounds can be seen in action on my channel.

There will be a video soon showing you how to make them and the materials you can use but the combinations are endless. You can even use stuff like silly putty in them I did this here:
