Paintball Cannon / Launcher Aerial Shells

These use the same principle as found in the Aerial Grenades (see the grenades page). The only difference is that you would load the grenade into a tube that fits your barrel and tape the popsicle stick to the outside of the tube instead of rubber banding it to the balloon. When you want to shoot one, carefully remove the tape and slide it in your barrel. The shell should be just a hair smaller than the barrel to allow it to slide in, but there shouldn't be enough room for the popsicle stick to be able to turn. The barrel will hold the stick in place until you fire the shell. Once it clears the barrel, the balloon will unwind and go off in the air in .5 - 1 seconds. This should be a good 50+ feet with a launcher. I'd expect range to be much less than a normal shell, but the rain effect should be quite a bit more effective. You can also use this shell as a grenade!
