I was playing Around a few days ago and noticed the PERFECT fit of ping-pong balls in 1.5 inch PVC pipe. i was wondering if anyone had made a cannon that was designed shot ping-pong balls........

The Metal company put out a "PING PONG BALL" gun with like a 7 shot capasity. Worked very well.

Joel did it. It was a cloud-like cannon with a hole in the back where he connected a shopvac.

Pingpong balls have serious air resistance compared to weight though... do they fly straight at all?

I think it would be kinda lame with how light the balls are, but it would be worth trying if you have the stuff just lying around (like I assume you do).

But then wouldn't lead bend when it hits something and not fit in your barrel anymore? Sounds like fun!

Fill them with cement. And I said cement not concrete.
