Here it is in all it's glory. When you watch it, please remember that the ball we were shooting is going much faster than we anticipated so all you see is the cup we use for wadding. The video may take a while to load. Hope you enjoy it.

hehe... fun
If possible, next time, could you try doing a video shot pointing towards the expected direction the ball/water-balloon is going so that it's flight can be seen?

Neat stuff!

Yeah, over the weekend we're gonna give it another shot, and try to calculate the speed height and all that stuff.

*bump*

Stats:
(90 degrees) Tennis ball 336 feet high at 141 MPH
(45 degrees) Water Balloon 800+ feet at 141 MPH

We also shot a lacross ball that exceeded 800 feet. We didn't bother to look for it, because it was litterally gone. At first I doubted the 800 foot mark, but we used a program on the internet that confirmed our calculations. The Douchenator exceeded my expectations by far.

At those speeds and ranges, I'm not sure what the recommended 'safe' firing range would be if there is one for being hit by a water balloon from it. :oo:

I personally would never shoot directly at an enemy under 100ft, but I would shell a fortified position closer than that if possible. The only other time I would use a Douchenator under 100ft would be as an object of intimidation, to make the enemy run, and they would probably run, as you can't if it's not loaded.

New video. Quality is bad so you don't always see the water balloon flying through the air. I'l get a better quality movie up tomorrow. It may take a while to load.
