if you have some liquid in the bottle it looks cool when you shoot it. on field day my friend and i did that to careless people that left their bottles on the ground. i scoped them out and he smushed them. it was great.

you know what would work better and make this more practicle, mount a shader valve (you know the valves on tires) on the water bottle to you can pump it up with a bike pump, at 100psi it could send the cap a few hundred feet, and because the bottle wouldn't be crushed nobody would know your gonna shoot them.

now that my friend would be cool! you could attach a tube to the end to make it more accurate

How about a 3/8 hole with a shrader valve installed in the cap ?

This works perfectly with a Cork wedged in the end (Most wine bottle corks are perfect fits) and a few nails/screws or pins or something shoved through the end

Just take an IBC Root Beer and stick a cork in the end. Shake it, and point it away! =P

get a water bottle and poke a hole in the lid with a pin. not so devestating, but it will last for ages so u wont be wasting to much water.(Australia is in a drought for all u americans)
heatblast says: Feb 20, 2008. 5:37 PM
hey, if you do this with a 2 liter bottle it'll be more powerful!! Heatblast.
Mojo_JoJo says: Nov 20, 2007. 10:10 AM
yay !!! it works. Twisted the bottle with both hands then held it against my stomach while I took aim, then with my right hand thumb flicked the cap so that it unscrews quickly. Don't know about the bruising part though, my room mate was not at home :-) We should see how far people can get the cap to fly.
danger_danger says: Oct 7, 2007. 12:39 AM
I tried this but it fired once and would not any more, even when it did fire it wasn't powerful. I followed your instructions exactly, did you make a mistake in your Instructable?
nerfer192 in reply to danger_dangerNov 16, 2007. 1:47 PM
to fire twice, just untwist and blow in the bottle. this is not a good idea if its some one elses bottle. you might get mono
SecondSun says: Nov 12, 2007. 3:11 PM
You didnt invent this did you? Anyway, it would hurt, but only if you shot someone in the eye at extremely short range. Still, a fun way to litter.
allbeef says: Oct 13, 2007. 3:48 PM
you could take an old cap glue it on to the other one and put a marble in it.
pinkvault4072 says: Jul 14, 2007. 11:14 AM
i do that at the pool all the time i did not learn that off this it is cool but it is not accruate and it defently does not brusie or hurt
dontwealllovebuda92 says: Apr 17, 2007. 4:06 PM
sweet im gonna go do it now
kevin4614 says: Mar 12, 2007. 9:37 PM
i have been doing this for years now. i shot bottle caps at sturdy cardboard boxes, and left inch long gashes from the impact. they will easily shoot 40 feet if you can build up enough pressure. the best ones to use are tall, thin bottles. if you have the wide 20 oz sams choice bottles, let some air out to make it easier to twist.

that gun is not too good.....i think you are lying when you say"it could bruise" The evil chimp

mat1978 says: Jan 22, 2007. 2:03 AM
stupid stupid stupid
clipper says: Jan 17, 2007. 10:43 PM
Another good idea is to just set the bottle on the ground, put one foot on the bottle to create pressure and swing the other foot onto the cap, you have to make sure you are kicking the lid the right way though
Mr.Devious says: Jan 17, 2007. 9:14 PM
I think most people know how to do this, and with the giant hands I have, I just twist it in half and pop the top right off. The Axe idea is pretty good, maybe I'll try it some time.
chuck norris says: Jan 16, 2007. 8:32 PM
i had a hard time the first few tries (using an arrowhead bottle) but after some practice it finally shot off and left a dent in my ceiling! nice instructable, kokakolakid.
i make shooting things says: Jan 16, 2007. 6:49 PM
i tried this with a Aquafina botle the botle was to think to use deer park water botles are a lot easyer to use.
