- Fabulous
- Easy to use
- Easy to Use- The glitter cannon is exceptionally easy to use. Simply charge the air tank from any standard compressor and you're good for five shots. Pop the tab on the glitter canister, drop it down the barrel until it reaches the bottom, aim, and fire.
- Fabulous- Sometimes, you just need a little extra sparkle in your life. Comes with pink, silver, and rainbow glitter canisters. For additional fun, powdered hair dye can be added to the canister before launch for that little extra bit of panache.
- Useless as a weapon- There are circumstances where the glitter cannon might be lethal (external use only, insertion into orifices voids the warranty), but since no one is going to let you shove it down their throat on the battlefield, you're better off using a beskar spoon.
- Craft herpes- This stuff gets everywhere if you're not careful. EVERYWHERE. And in the spirit of being festive, it was specifically designed to be difficult to remove from skin. Don't want it rubbing off too soon on the dance floor, after all. Beware wind speed and direction.
Air cannon are not complicated. Simply pump them full of air, load, aim, and pull the trigger. Easy peasy.
What sets this particular one apart is the glitter canister. The canisters are spring loaded. Once they leave the tube, they pop open like a clamshell, spreading their joyous cloud in a spread roughly four meters across at the widest point at a range of about three meters from the tube. Wind direction and speed can significantly alter the shape of the cloud, so user discretion is advised.
For storage and transportation purposes, the glitter canisters are secured with a pin, not unlike the pin on a grenade. Simply lower the canister partway into the tube, pull the pin, and you're free to safely drop it the rest of the way. Once it's snug against the bottom, you're good to go.
Please note that the glitter cannon is meant for entertainment purposes only. It's absolutely not meant to give the wielder the opportunity to stare someone in the eye and baptize them in a shower of sparkly goodness as a metaphor for the stupidity they spread with every syllable. Doing so will void the warranty, unless you get a recording and send it to us.
