Snowball fights with friends or indeed enemies are great fun, but not without their little annoyances. Firstly you have to do all the work, roll the snow and throw it. We suspect unless you could pitch for the Yankees that you could do with a little more oomph from your projectiles, which is where the Wham-O Snowball Blaster ($25) comes in.

This plastic launcher features three snowball packers and fires each softball sized projectile 50 feet, surely making you the guy to fear at the snowball fight.
