Question

How can I make one out of a plastic bottle?

Community Answer

Fill the bottle with BBs and 3 or 4 firecrackers. Cut a small hole in the lid for the fuse and pull the fuse through, then light the fuse and throw.

That depends on how you aim. If you're throwing technique is good enough, then you will be able to throw at an aiming point.

The ping pong method works best when you cut the ball in half and tape it loosely together.

If used for an airsoft fight, do not throw directly at person, throw at ground 1–2 feet (0.3–0.6 m) away from target.
