Title: Bowling ball Cannon
Post by: Powder Keg on May 10, 2008, 11:14:39 PM

Here is a quick picture of a couple cannons that I've built. The first is a bowling ball cannon. I can shoot them over a mile:o)

Here are a few that I have built. The mortars shoot soda cans. The model of the 24 pounder shootes golf balls.

I built this custom cannon for a guy in Boise, ID. It shoots Golf balls.

There was a guy taking some video with a digital camera there. That was one of the frames. When you shoot it, you cant see all that fire. Just a bunch of smoke. That was 10 tablespoons of powder.
