Hello, this year I want to make the traditional snowball fights more interesting and exciting this winter by making a "snow cannon" that can launch snowballs several dozen meters away. However, I am having trouble figuring out how to make the snowball withstand high acceleration without breaking before leaving the barrel. Does anyone have any experience or ideas on designing snow cannons and protecting the snowball during the firing process that can give me some advice? Thanks.
