I got 200 water bombs, small ballons, and a plastic pump ( just a rubber bulb, nozil and valves, type thing, bit like the air brushes you can get to clean camera lenses ) packed together for 99p from a discount center. I filled and froze some and they went okish, very light so very slow, short range and a bit slippery in the pouch but looked great as they smashed on impact.

You might be able to shape the waterbaloons in one of those. (Just a thought, I do not know if it works.) Willeke

It is the inside that needs to have shaped parts, so each egg, of waterballoon, has its own pointy container. Willeke

I went back to modify that post, and looked down at the bottom, and the "Disable" checkbox was checked. I didn't think to scroll down and look, before. I do not know how it got checked, but obviously I did it.

It is checked by default when you quote a post that has smilies disabled. It happens to me most times when I reply to a post by Curious Aardvark, he seems to have smilies disabled by default for all of his posts.

YES ! It was me lol
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to smileys. Dates back to the fact that I was alive when they were originally invented and sad as it sounds did used to spens time making them up at college (steam powered computers back then lol)
So I always tick the smiley box :-)
Had no idea it was contagious though - good to know I'm still spreading the word lol

As for water balloons, hmm perhaps you need to fill them up a bit more stringman ?
I would think that somewhere between egg and tennis ball size would give a decent weight. I slung snowballs this year (on the 2 days we had snow) much lightter than frozen water bombs but went great for distance.
We used to fill them up by forcing the neck of the balloon over a tap and turning the tap on - that way you can fill with more water than using those little crappy pumps they come with :-)
