At the University of Oklahoma, the biggest spirit squad is called the Rough Necks (like the oil drillers). They have these modified shotguns, 10-guage I think, that sound like howitzers. They fire white-powder blanks, and the barrels have been modified by welding an open-ended canister about 6" in diameter by 18" long onto the end. You can feel the concussion in your chest when they fire them. A rig like that ought to do the trick. Don't forget your earplugs.
