New cannon ideas

Has anyone ever considered making a cannon thet used tennis balls instead of Nerf rockets? I hear people are having trouble finding rockets and that they are rising in price. Any comments or ideas?

I do not like the tennis ball idea due to the impact. Tennis balls are cheap which is great but they will cause more damage to an individual than a nerf would. BTW are you guys ready to put in an order for nerfs?

I would like to go in with someone and buy a few if we can get a good rate on a bulk number of them. What is the average price of one?

So you wouldn't consider such a device, even if it was shown to be safe? I have been hit by a tennis ball served by a professional player (details will remain confidential) and it didn't hurt. Besides, like Nerfs, they would be anti-tank/bunker, not personnel.

Just asking.

http://store.lsdistribution.net/hb45409.html

300$ minimum order


Availability: Subject to Availability
Pack: 12

Item #: HB45409
Cost: $1.75, 12/$21.00

I emailed them for availability and shipping costs. thats 14 cases (or 171 ). Works out to about 2$ each nerf last I ordered.

PM me for how many you want and we'll see about getting an order together before Sealion....
