Here's an awesome weekend project that could leave you with a fearsome "Ping Pong Ball Mauler" capable of firing hundreds of balls a minute at your unsuspecting neighbors. Christian Reed built it out of a poly drum and a homemade pneumatic device.

Best of all, all of the parts he used can be bough...
