No, I just like referring to them as rattle cans. I read that term while skimming a website and thought it was a clever, if not obvious term for them.

And I thought it was obvious that I'm american... :roll:

Oh yes, I followed that thread. Well I'm glad that it's working well and providing a lot of fun. Did any paint not burn up and end up coating the grass?

Can I add that unless you reside in the recently flooded areas, fireballs however gnarly aren't the best idea considering the season.

Don't get me wrong, fireballs are very impressive, just not when they cover half a state.

I'd wondered whether paint was left after a paint tin "goes away", I might try it with something which has a little more (or should I say moar) brisance.

Fair enough, I'm in north central vic so the floods didn't affect us too badly, north a bit further is really getting knocked about though.

I've downloaded the video and n00btube has raped the audio somewhat but I could barely pick up anything from the cane gun, what pressure was it running at?
