Woodworking : Water balloon Crossbow Launcher HD

Detailed video of how to make two different sizes of our water balloon crossbow. This water balloon launcher was designed after a shotgun, where the barrel was split down the middle and rubber rods added between the two barrels to act as a launcher. Practiced with multiple balloons the smaller crossbow launcher has a range of 30ft, while the larger crossbow launcher 75-100ft. Both distances can be extended by playing around with the tension of the rubber rods.
