slipstream Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Cork or High Density foam would be my preferred load for the air cannon - would leave off the lift cup and caps - we have air tank versions so can reduce the pressure which the co2 le maitre ones dont allow - quite effective - but as always test and assess.

martinkings Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 HD foam is my other option We you say "we have air tank....." - are you a company, or would you be willing to rent these (and are close to Kent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemonkey Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I need to replicate an over the top trench charge from WW1 - similar to the end of blackadder - for a play I was planning on using le maitre maroons, but has anyone got any better ideas? I need explosions + puffs of white smoke, but I don't want to use theatrical flashes as it doesn't feel quite the right effect. Another effect you might find usefull is Wells Pyrotechnics MuzzleFlash, gives columnal black smoke plume with flash and drifting embers, 5mtr height safety and 3mtr general safety from my experience.
