... in the backyard, the biggest advantage since the ice ball.
The snowball launcher can form 3 snowballs in its chambers and then using a slingshot can fire the balls up to 50 feet away. No batteries, so the fast flying and long range snowballs can go on as long as you can.
You can get one for $30.
It may not be most noble of additions to winter sports equipment but it still looks neat. Personally I’m looking forward to someone inventing a snowzooka.

It sculpts the 'balls for you, three at a time, and then you can use its internal slingshot to fire them at neighbor kids up to 50 feet away. Actually I've remembered that the worst bit of snowball fighting is being hit by one that "accidentally" has gravel in it, but you take my point. With this baby tucked under your arm, wintry Cold Wars will be decidedly more one-sided. Yours for $30. [HammacherSchlemmer via ...

... away. The launch is rapid and as the blaster compacts the snow in to spherical shapes the accuracy is also good too.
It works by you cramming snow in to the forming chamber. Once the snow is in there you shut the lid, making the spherical snow balls. Three snowballs can be packed in and when you are ready to fire you take a snowball out, put it in the muzzle, pull back the elastic and pull the trigger. No batteries needed. The Snowball Blaster costs $29.95 at Hammacher.

... and accurate as it can be considering a snowball will almost always arc. You have to aim up and lob the shot, which is kind of contrary to the gun-like form of the weapon. The rubber bands flex well even in cold weather. The bottom line is that if you're facing off against any one with a half way decent arm, the average firepower on this piece is no match for a quick pack and toss from a human appendage. Nice try, though. Don't I look mean cradling such an armament? [HammacherSchlemmer] Snowmodo is our snow sport winter meet up at Lake Tahoe, ...
