Step 1 Supplies

  Materials

- Balloon - Make sure its a regular balloon, e.g. not modelling or water balloons

- Small Pringles Tub - If you don't have one of these, cut off 1/2 a toilet roll and use that.

- Some form of ammo - e.g. scrunched up piece of card/paper or similar object

  Equipment

- Scissors or X-Acto Knife -If you can't rip rubber, you're gonna need these  
 
- Can opener - Electrical ones are best because you need to have smooth edges so you don't cut your hands...

Bravo!  Very well explained, in steps and pictures, easy to follow, funny and fun. It's a great project for kids, who can then have  gum / M&Ms / popcorn / acorn battles!  Sell it to the Pentagon for 8 million dollars!  Kudos!
