 Acme Melon Musket, Spooky Bazookey launches a melon.
70mm with zoom.
The white thing in the air is the stick on label, blown off the melon by the launch.
We were zeroing in on the first set of targets which are 1/4 mile down range. Elevation is about 8 degrees, air pressure about 90psi.

OK, I've seen your photos of this but honestly it's the first time I've ever heard of it. A bit strange but I guess it's fun!

"Acme" like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner? I see the name on the barrel but it's upside down ... that could be intentional if it's that Acme.
