Cannon ammo:

Although Alternative Paintball only suggest you use your paintball cannon to fire paintballs on a legal paintball field that allows their use, other items can safely be used. Depending on cannon size, you may be able to fire between 20 to 50 paintballs or more from your cannon in one shot. Other ammo loads include, but are not limited to:

	water balloons (filled with paint or just water)
	water balloons (filled with powder or chalk dust (makes a big "puff" when it hits the target)
	water by itself
	toilet paper
	streamers
	confetti
	Nerf balls
	hacky sacks
	pvc "missiles"

Obviously, some of the items which are able to be fired from a large bore cannon are not suited to be used against person or property. Serious damage or injury can and will result if used improperly. Use your head!

Loading your cannons:

Before you load your cannon, be sure that no pressure is in the holding tank/expansion chamber. Place a packing wad in the barrel, then your "ammo", then another packing wad to hold the contents in the barrel. Once the cannon is loaded, then you may begin to pressurize the cannon. Make sure the valve is closed and point the barrel away from person or property. Fill the air tank or pressurize your co2 chamber.

Firing your cannon:

Once your cannon is loaded and pressurized, it is ready to use and dangerous. Extreme care must be taken while carrying it in this manner. If the valve handle is opened even slightly, the pressure will fire the cannon. Even leaning it up against a try may set it of if the valve moves. Observe all paintball gun safety rules. Wear your goggles. Carefully aim your cannon and with one quick FAST stroke, open the valve. Best results are if you use the palm of your hand and push it quickly. The faster you open the valve, the better range you will be.
