Yep, the pun aspect of the phrase was certainly part of the choosing. But yeah, ice balls are a great projectile. They're single use (for the most part), but give a consistent size and weight, about the same size as a tennis ball (if you get the 2.5 inch molds), and you don't need to gather them up. The biggest downfall is they don't travel very well. You need to be slinging close to your freezer.
If you like slow motion ice explosions, this is one of my favorite videos that I've done:

Thanks for the reply (already checked this and the video, very nice btw, a good while ago but forgot to write back). Have you tried making pointy ones too or just the round ones?
Won't travel well correct but come wintertime here and going somewhere putting a couple in the outside bag pockets... Already have a few ice molds like this and have just found a good wall to sling at VERY close to my house so after clearing the freezer a bit will be giving this a go (until I can order a few lacrosse balls at least to be less limited; unsure how well clay holds up as well). Would need more molds though to truly make it worth it; not much practice in a session otherwise.
