I've no tins that fit tight but most beer tins can be balanced on it vertically. However, be aware that when/if you buy replacement blank .22 cartridges, that some are nowhere near as powerful as the Turner Richard ones. The Turner Richard ones in my launcher will make a heck of a bang and compress the base of a beer tin so much that its height is reduced by nearly 50%. It chucks it vertically probably 50-75 ft. The Fiocchi ones I get struggle to get it to 20 ft but the tin is undamaged.
