Pretty easy to make.
6-10 grains of your favourite powder
Whatever wad you happen to have
Rice, millet or corn meal as filler
You can probably find a recipe on-line
However - treat like real ammunition and do not point at anything you don't want to shoot.

Default Poppers

They have become very expensive imo, so I use a shell with just a primer and it works for me.
When the dog is close to the gunner I use a dollar store cap gun.

I thought about that, just don't know anyone who reloads.

The most difficult thing now, is to find shotgun primers.

Very easy to make. Just buy box of filed loads 7/8 or 1 oz, lift up crimp with pointy tool, get rid of lead shot and fill it with filler of your choice. (rice, millet or corn meal) Push crimp back with dowel or screwdriver handle.

Most of us use a starter pistol. Pretty much the standard. Would try to match up t what your using for launchers. Make life easy. People get excited bringing long guns out lol
