I've been toying with the idea of a mortar for many years now on the side... and i believe i have an interesting idea for an "airburst" round.

Here's the VERY crude version of it:
Take a balloon.. strech the S**t out of it, fill it with a bunch of BBs and put some compressed air into it. tie it off and there you go.

The only foreseeable problem with this is that it may not fly very well due to the light weight of it, thus, you would be limited ot a lot of BBs in one shell.

Any input at all would be appreciated. This type of round would obviously be best suited for a woodland-type scenario, so the tree branches overhead would burst the ballon and scatter the shot. Also, i am not using compressed air to power the projectile, i am using a catapault style theory. so the balloon will not break.

I realize this whole balloon idea sounds very "newb" and such, but i'm just trying to put my hat into the ring.
