Gas Gun and Other Under-wing Things

Inspirational posts, thanks Dan. :D

I actually built hard-points (complete with wiring and cannon plugs) into my RV-6 wings (which helps explain why they took so long to make) and I've been thinking about all the cool stuff I could hang off them, just for fun. I was going to build a couple of missiles for static display purposes only... but maybe I need to ramp it up a notch.
 
Need MERs for the flour bombing contests.

How about MERs for flour bombing contests? Or for toilette paper cutting? Much more complicated than tossing out the window, but showing up at a fly-in with that kind of frag would get a laugh, and not everyone has slider canopies.
 
I have considered designing a laser tag system for the plane. It would be sort of fun to dogfight that way. We'd need some sort of eye-safe yet detectable and reasonably powered laser, and cheap, easy-to-install receivers to score "hits".
