Mini cannon video

Lots of fun can be had with miniature cannons.

The powder he is using looks suspiciously like matchstick head scrapings.

[ Many thanks to cameron for emailing me the link. ]

    Impressive engineering. Obviously not in a hurry to quit smoking though. Wonder how many he went through whilst shooting that little video.

    How does someone go about ordering one of these miniature cannons, as my friend Tooky in Arizona SuperMax Pennitentery said he’s very interested in acquiring one for…er, recreational purposes.

      SpudGun, they are easy enough to make. just need a piece of bronze and a drill.

    My dad made a miniature naval cannon of about .22 bore when he was younger & working in his father’s machine shop. Only problem is that the touchhole is too small for the fuse that he says is available these days. The fuse shown in the video looks about the right size tho.
