My thoughts? NO and NO!!!
Way too much blow by. Hence shells wont' get very high.

They are not going to go very high. lol
Just messing around in a controlled, safe environment, I have shot 1.5" noisy ball shells out of 1.75" tubes and they only went about 20-30 feet high.
I'v never tried 1" but I'm not even sure if a 1" would even make it out of the tube. If it did, it would probably just plop right out on the ground. lol

So for a show and such, bad idea. Maybe just messing around by yourself as long as you have proper space and a safe environment, give it a try and you will see what i mean. :cool:
