Hmm...... I think I'll make a slush ball with rocks and salt in the middle then cover it in normal snow. Btw, 6 GRADERS FTW!

[Screamo]

This really does not need to be an instructables. BTW i perfer making a normal snow ball and lighting a fire cracker, sticking the firecracker inside the snowball and THEN throwing it.

[cowscankill]

No offense, of ocurse, but my snow balls are better :P
Extremely spherical, I amaze my friends. Then I give it to my baseball friend and he hits the other kids haha.  I would take a picture... but it was only one snow day. Georgia's winter SUX.

[trevor3693]

not as bad as las vegas.

[XWXAXDXEX]

Are you serious? They'res a snow ball leage? Goodness what is America coming to...?!?!?!?!?

[luvit]

 you need to add stones and sharp ice pieces to the recipe.

[ZachPosey]

omg hahaha

[Zielony152]

Hahaha :P < Good :P

[TheRecreationist]

 tbh i was expecting some auto snowball maker... oh well

here is another tip, if you rare bullied by someone, put a rock in the middle of the snowball
in all the frenzy, he wount know what hit him ;)

[watermelonhead]

I made a snow ball out of the gravely snow that comes from the street, then I cover it with clean snow so it looks like an average snowball. >:D

[TheRecreationist]

 if you want to take it to the next level, put some salt in it

diy chemical warfare

[grue]

wouldn't the snow melt because of the salt?

[watermelonhead]

Yes, but not instantly

[TheRecreationist]

you gta be fast, no doubt


artillery versions we used contained chinese firecrackers of 120 db
was like war movies... 5,4,3, fire!

explodes marvelously in mid air, having a psychological impact on the enemy
if surrounded with gravel, it gives a shelling effect too, salt would be the opposite of  coup de grace

[TheRecreationist]

 if you "were" -.-

[ol987986]

i covered a rock in snow
:D

When I was young, I used to make 2 snowballs.  I would lob the first one very high, yet accurate.  Then when the poor boy would look up at the snowball in the clouds, I would reach for the second, and fire it.  I like to remember  that both snowballs hit the poor boy every time.

kid at school threw a 511 pointer at me right in the face really hard it was REALY PAINFUL!!!!!! then i got up and (this is totally legal and non'bullying because he was 1 foot taller and way older than me) and i wreseld him into 2 feet of frozen ice snow and got snow in his ears. he won't underestimate a 6th grader again!

Rocks are dirty pool -- but a slushball, now that's a bit of evil fun. I refer my fellow instructionistas to Bill Cosby's "Junior Barnes" skit.

Tried, tested, and true -  the following works quite well.

Woolen gloves are not the "appropriate gear" Ideally you should have thin woolen gloves with latex or rubber gloves of the top to keep you warm and dry. Working hands and arms are essential in a snowball fight.
