Guys, watch how you hold these. Please make sure you have the right end pointing in the right direction and away from any important body parts. At the same time, I recommend you don't have the other end pointed at you either because of the posibility of a failure.

In that first video, it looked like that man was holding correctly and it malfunctioned. I have not seen these devices. Are they spring loaded ?

The ones I've used have a can of compressed air that is used as the propellant. It appears when the air was released it ejected the can of compressed air out of the bottom of the cannon. That shouldn't happen.

I don't know how it's supposed to function. But I could watch this all day. Also, props to the kid in the second video for having situational awareness. He's totally thinking "Man, my uncle is going to hurt himself again. Just gonna be over here protecting my eyes."

At least nobody started a forest fire like they did where I live.

My daughter bought the confetti version for our granddaughters birthday. Our three year old grandson was there and he completely lost his s--t when these went off. They surprised me too. They were pretty powerful and not at all what I was expecting. If I have time I'll post it.

Serves him right for having a gender reveal party.
