Instead of those expensive Home Depot rubber stoppers, I'm thinking a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's is in order, to win myself a couple of superballs. Cut 'em in half and stick that in the nosecone.

And rather than just squishing the front closed with a zip tie, I'm pondering "splitting" the nose, folding the resulting "flaps" in, and taping them there for a nice streamlined front that will hold the half-superball weight/seal in place.

(Hard to describe, but if I can make that work, there will be pictures!)

"Why cut the superball in half?", you ask? Two reasons:

1. a whole superball would probably be too heavy.

2. the missile should fit as snugly as possible around the launcher's shaft, including being flush with the tip.

Like so:

(Yes, I made the ultimate sacrifice and cut one of the two Hasbruh missiles I own in half with a utility knife. As you can see, it was find of torn up anyway. I think the original owner left it out in the sun and then ran over it with a lawn mower. And now my cat is chewing the hell out of one of the halves. RIP 'nade)
