Hi Zach!
The main thing you need is a recovery system, do you have one?
A smaller nozzle will reduce acceleration so it doesn't break on launch. A Gardena nozzle launcher is a simple restricted nozzle launcher.
It sounds as though it is for a competition, what are the rules?

Thanks brian, the rules are the bottle has to be a two liter bottle we cant have gmetal or glass and we can only have water in it and an egg. We can use tennis balls.
