A Paintball Cannon (aka air cannon, potato launcher, spud gun,
PAW, etc) is a large bore paintgun that is designed to fire multiple
paintballs at once like a shotgun or a single larger projectile like a water
balloon. Their use is sometimes restricted at some fields and games.
Although most cannons don't have the same range as a paintball gun, point
blank firing at anything is very dangerous since it is likely to hit the
target with 30+ paintballs at once. Cannons should not be used at ranges
less than 20 feet. Cannon ranges with paintballs is usually between 100-150
feet.
Throughout the years, Alternative Paintball has offered many
types of paintball cannons. Although we no longer sell all the cannons we
once had, we still have the older models listed in the archive link for your
viewing pleasure. Plans are still available for a majority of the cannons
we build!
