You know.....
The first can you launch has to be a Twisted Tea now.
I’m assuming your getting a X-Products Can Cannon. I have one and discovered 2 ways of shooting cans. I nicked named them H.E. and Tracer.
H.E. - Can loaded bottom side down. Can will stay intact and exploded on impact with a solid.
Tracer - Can loaded top side down. When launched, the pressure of the blank pops the top and a stream of the cans contents follows the can. Can still breaks apart on impact but it is not as spectacular.
Of course this is what usually happens but sometimes it is inconsistent.
One thing to know, the recoil is similar to a shotgun so make sure you fully shoulder it when you shoot it.
