I got a small radio as junk from work. It would still receive a few stations so it was shot while plugged in and running. A solenoid valve air cannon was used along with a 25 mm barrel and a 50 mm barrel. Ammo for the first shot was a mixture of ball chain and .177 steel BBs. For the second shot an empty caulking tube was fired. Slow motion was recorded at 240 and 480 frames/sec. The white shredded mess blowing around is the base wadding for the shot, three squares of toilet paper.
