<br />you talking about them little party dealies where you pull the string and it fires out craploads of confetti and stuff? now, would you be able disassemble one of them buggers and load it with BBs and use it as a claymore? would that be against the law? what possible damage could it cause to the surrounding area/people and gear?

I have taken them apart... I've never filled them with BBs, but you probably could. What you do is stick the tip of a pencil or something long around the cardboard that covers the hole where the confetti comes out and you dump out all the confetti. Then, you will see another piece of cardboard at the bottom, under that is the charge. You can take that piece of cardboard out the same way you take out the first and actually take out the charge (still attached to the string), but the BBs might be propelled more effectively if you leave the bottom cardboard piece in. They aren't very powerful though, so I'm not sure how far/fast it would shoot BBs. It's worth a try though, just be safe.
EDIT: You should probably try it on your own the first time when nobody is around to make sure that it isn't too dangerous, that way if the BBs go flying out at 800 fps you won't kill anyone. I know that's common sense, but I just wanted to make sure in case anyone thinks about launching one of these at one of their friends before they test it.
