Seth,
You finally got to weave physics into the blog! 3- cheers for crazy science experiments!
You are dead on complaining that we need more teachers and experiments that can get the kids as engaged at the rifle trick. If parents are worried about weapons, this could also be an EXCELLENT opportunity to lead the kids into lessons on gun safety. After all, calculating how fast a bullet goes can tell you a lot about what it could do to a human body if it hits it; to take it a step further (and mix with a biology lesson - ohh cross discipline!), you could also claculate how far it could penetrate into human tissue. That would certainly scare the hell out of those kids.
