Tennis Ball Mortar

captaincrash17 · Tue Dec 16, 2008 11:53 pm

Here is a tennis ball mortar constructed from three Pringles cans. These are very simple to make and lots of fun. This is fueled by hairspray and was made in about 20 minutes. Everyone should build one.

thanks

if there was a ghetto prize you would win it

At least it won't get confiscated by the police or anything (a problem that occurs in Australia) but the good thing is it must have cost, maybe 15 dollars including the chips and a whole thing of hairspray.. wait is that being held together by duct tape? I guess its OK in this case but lets just say that duct tape is a demon of stupidity here

hope you don't use it on other guns, and I pray that you haven't tried to make a pneumatic with it! :withstupid: I actually love ghetto guns, making something out of nothing

The Duct tape hold the three cans together. How else would i do it, epoxy?? the tubes are cardboard so i thought this was the easiest way.

Nothing like basic ghettoness. Ok so who here currently holds the coveted and infamous "Ghetto Award"?

Sorry for the noob question, but where do you spray the hairspray in ?
I don't really get the combustion chamber and stuff.

Thanks !

In the air around the ghetto mortar. That should do the trick...

Very funny!... No but seriously xP

Well, you spray it in the tube.

Then close one end and ignite it.
Tennis Ball then goes flying..

Smack?

But seriously, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere above, and I don't see an ignitor.
