You put a screw(s)in the bottom on the barrel to stop that.

On an update I now have two 200v 470uf capacitators. What could I use them for?

I tried shooting a buddy with snow packed in an ABS combustion cannon (4"x24" chamber to 2"x24" barrel). In retrospect, I'm glad the recoil made me narrowly miss because the heat in the chamber from previous shots made the ice melt into one solid block.

If you really want a cannon just for snow, make sure you get a very large barrel. If I was gonna make a spud gun just for snow, I would spend as little as possible, combustion?. (I'm in Australia, so the price of PVC is alot higher)
