Egg Target Practice at 300 mph (483 km/h)

After figuring out how to launch raw eggs to over 300 mph( 483km/h), I thought I'd have a little fun with the cannon and see what can withstand getting hit by a flying egg. It's surprising just how much energy they have at high speeds and the amount of damage they can do. At 300+ MPH even something as fragile as an egg could be dangerous and requires some respect for the amount of energy it has. Video shows good example of impulse

PVC AIr cannon dangers future episode: I am looking for information on safety problems that anyone has had with PVC cannons. If you have had a cannon fail for any reasons please forward the details to me at Bgoknee@comcast.net

this video is a follow up to Launching Raw eggs

A future video will feature attempts to try and stop a 300 mph egg safely without it breaking

For anyone wondering about wasting food, the eggs were supplied and were past their sellable expiration date

.Okay so I've already received offers for it, selling the damaged computer listing was supposed to be a joke, not only is the screen destroyed but it also has raw egg and water inside the body. I don't think any amount of repairs will bring it back to life

.One last note: the high pitched sound that is heard throughout the video is due to seasonal male cicadas making a loud buzzing noise to attract a mate. A problem when trying to shoot video outdoors during the summer
