Any idea of the average distance on those cans? I know that your common "potato gun" can shoot a frozen orange through standard .5" plywood at a reasonable distance...But a Cinder-Lob Lite? Sounds like that would take a comparatively reasonable amount of propellant...

Re: Backyard Ballistics
I don't know what the average distance was. For details on what some people are currently experimenting with, check out http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/~botanika/warning_label.htm .
Be patient with the page, it takes a while to load.

After checking that site, the BFPG-9000 is capable of shooting 1/2 pound potato slugs faster than the speed of sound!!! (MACH 1)! That is pretty amazing...imagine the marketing possibilities as the "Salad-Shooter of the New Millenium" lol
