Mini Cannon!

[Big J]

All my life I have been searching for a special something, not knowing exactly what it was - now I do. I require the ability to destroy things on a tiny tiny scale with an elegant little cannon!

I have a confession - the top part of a Honda fork stanchion - they make excellent canons - misspent youth:thumbup1:

Spud

[John Russell]

Excellent: but be careful if you make one! That looks seriously lethal and is, by any definition, an illegal firearm!

 

Best wishes,

It is a firearm and needs a certificate

[Mick Stockbridge]

You would not get a certificate to own something like that. Five years inside would be more likely.

I made a little black powder pistol (percussion cap),when I was in my teens,used to go through a 4'' breeze block no probs,cut it up after a play as it was too naughty.

That's mad...

 

At uni me and a like-minded engineering mate made a gas powered spud gun out of tin cans and a chunk of 2" waste pipe; the "chamber" would have been about four litres and the barrel about 50cm.

 

We only fired it a few times but gave it up after setting it off one time, obviously having got the fuel / air mix just right, and the explosion taking all the seams apart between the tin cans.

 

Eeeh, them were the days...
