It sounds like it.

Even though my “exlosion-making” is less frequent than it used to be, I still succumb to the “old ways” now and again.

On Thanksgiving day I amazed and impressed my 7-year old son when, in less than five minutes, I constructed a fully operational “cannon” using only a few empty green bean cans, a can opener and some duct tape. With a little naptha-based lighter fluid and one of his foam rubber balls, we were able to make quite a racket.

Repeated loud “booms” echoing through the trees next to our house provided fine entertainment as we waited for the turkey to finish cooking.

You are bring tears to my eyes! My brother and I used to make these cannons and shoot tennis balls at each other. Smashing up model cars was pretty fun too!

Double Pringles can launchers and tennis balls down a 75 foot hall. Tried to grab them with a catcher's mitt. Those things were lethal.
