    Um. You sort of failed to mention that they were filled with water. That changes the equation just a bit.

    Ping pong balls are *still* pretty harmless: until the guy injects it with water before shooting. Imagine if he froze them too...

    Hey that title is misleading, they injected the ping pong ball with water before they shot it out. Of course it will go through plywood!

    @trailingedge: Increasing its mass is kinda cheating.
    I'd reckon without any added weight a ping pong balls max speed won't be very harmful

    I hope its never painted black. I dont look forward to reading the stories of little kids who pulled it out in front of the wrong person and got shot for it.

    Can someone turn this thing into a belt-feeding Nerf gun? You know, so it would be useful during the rest of the year.

    Host: Now, this next one's for the person who throws parties.

    How many times have you been throwing a Christmas party,

    only to realize you've forgotten to decorate?

    Assistant: That's everyone's nightmare.

    Host: That's why I invented this revolutionary Christmas Canon. It's for the person who only has four-fifths of a second to get ready.

    Close your eyes!

    ::BAM::

    Host: Now you're ready for a night of jingling around the clock!.

    @Curves: Hmmm, spray glue and a box of glitter.


    Step 1. Spray gift with glue.

    Step 2. Throw gift in box of glitter.

    Step 3. Place bow on top of glitterfied gift.

    Step 4. Place gift tag on box.


    Yea, I'm digging this plan.
