<p>This portable toy blaster is capable of making softball-sized snowballs and launching them up to 50 feet away &#8211; &#8220;allowing rapid, long-range assaults during neighborhood snowball confrontations.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-2588"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
 Simply place snow in the forming chamber and close the lid, and it packs three perfectly spherical snowballs. To blast your mark, place one snowball in the muzzle, aim the launcher, and pull back the slingshot mechanism.</p>
<p>Because the blaster is powered by elastomers instead of batteries, it provides uninterrupted, fast-action play. Made of durable, cold-resistant plastic.</p>
<p>Includes targets for shooting practice.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.hammacher.com/publish/76244.asp">50&#8242; Snowball Launcher</a> is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for  $29.95.</p>
