Have you been looking for a piston for your pnuematic cannon. Look no further than your PANTRY! I found a can of food that fits perfectly in 3" pipe. The only problem is that its either canned milk or pitted cherries. I mean how often does someone use those? Drain the can and youve got the hole already and fill it for weight if needed.

I took one of my old rubber cleaning gloves and cut it up, it makes a perfect seal. I just have to seal it because it inflates into the barrel. I'm gonna fill the piston in with something.
