If you need a guy on YouTube that has experience firing birds from air cannons, who better than Adam Savage.
Pretty much. He started talking about the safety and I had a brief moment of "why's he the one telling everybody this?" before realizing that he's done enough other experiments involving improvised cannons to already know exactly which issues needed to be considered to pull together a set of safety rules. In practice, they mostly just mirrored standard range safety guidelines, adapted for a compressor-powered air cannon, and anyone else could probably have done it, but I imagine it's second nature for Adam at this point.
