The confetti burst at the corporate awards dinner was supposed to be modest — the client had specified "tasteful, not overwhelming." We agreed, and positioned the cannons conservatively.
What we had not accounted for was the venue's HVAC system running at full capacity. When the cannons fired, the air handling caught the confetti and kept it aloft for almost ninety seconds instead of the usual fifteen. The entire ceiling of the hall was gold for a minute and a half. The client called it "the best problem we've ever had."
CO2 confetti cannons are the most versatile and crowd-pleasing SFX in our inventory. Here is how they work and how to use them effectively.
What is a CO2 Confetti Blaster?
A CO2 confetti cannon (also called a confetti blaster, CO2 confetti gun, or CO2 confetti machine) is a device that uses pressurized CO2 gas to launch a powerful burst of confetti into the air. The CO2 propulsion creates an instantaneous explosion of colour — sending confetti 5–15 meters high and covering a wide radius in seconds.
Unlike manual confetti poppers or electric blowers, CO2 confetti cannons produce a dramatic, explosive effect that is visible across large event spaces. The CO2 gas itself is invisible and dissipates immediately — leaving only the floating confetti effect.

Is CO2 Confetti Blaster Safe for Indoor Events?
Yes — completely safe. The CO2 used is food-grade. Confetti materials are non-toxic and tested for colorfastness (will not stain skin or clothing). The CO2 blast is instantaneous and dissipates immediately. FirepowerSFX's indoor confetti is made from lightweight paper or metallic foil that floats slowly to the ground and is easy to clean up. A full FirepowerSFX confetti cannon activation produces the same CO2 volume as opening one bottle of carbonated drink.
