other good things to look at are the weapons given to the british "home guard" in the early stages of WW2, like the Northover Projector, the Blacker Bombard, and the Holman Projector.
I'm betting we could even improve on them. the northover projector looks particularly handy, and it could be chambered in 2.5inch, or a standard soda can.
We don't need those things because none of us are gonna register and/or give up any of our guns. But I recommend that we save glass wine bottles and liquor bottles. Just remember that it is dangerous to store flammable liquids in them.
Also look at a device called an AP Switch, developed by the British during WWII. Simply put, it is a pressure activated mine using a .303 cartridge inside a two piece tubular spike driven into the ground. The spike (reciever tube) was driven into the ground, the .303 loaded into a breech tube, and the breach tube simply placed inside the reciever, projecting 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the level of the ground. When stepped on, the .303 fired through the enemy's foot and on upward. Cutaway illustration in "Winston Churchill's Toyshop" By Stuart Macrae.
I save all my styrofoam peanuts as well as any other styrofoam packaging (from ceiling fans etc) in case I might have a need to GELL some gasoline. Just a few odd bags full down in the basement in case the odd chance that it might be needed. I think that time might be right around the corner. Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared.

Hmmm...finally, a use for all of the expended primers that accumulate from reloading.
