confetti cannon

Party paper blaster

A confetti cannon is a device that shoots confetti into the air, typically used at celebrations, concerts, and sporting events.

Most are handheld tubes that release compressed air when twisted or struck, propelling paper or metallic streamers outward in a burst.

Larger versions may be electronically triggered for coordinated displays: The confetti cannons fired as the final buzzer sounded.
