Here ya go.
Was at the FA shoot a few years back and a guy had a nitrogen cylinder cut in half launching 16 lb bowling balls about 1000 yards. Said the cylinders had to be 29" circumference to work right, used a cup of black powder and mounted a black powder lock to the bottom for ignition. That was a hoot watching a bowling ball travel that far.
Ah yes, this is exactly the type device I was referring to in my previous post. Start practicing the phrase, "we been shooting it like this for years, and never had a problem, before."fyi, welded drill pipe cap on threads, blast hole through with torch, ensure your pipe is wide enough for a soda can, apx a wd40 red cap of black powder will lauch said can a hell of a long ways. with drill pipe being used, it will take a heck of a charge but it is always dangerous to get too obnoxious, hella fun though. My moms neighbor a 1/4 mile away didnt particularly care for it
I have an offer from several fellows here to shoot on their property. Now if I can just get the moon and stars to align, get a new tow vehicle, finish painting and reassembling the bowling ball mortar, and weather is safe from fire/floods, I want to haul the two big guns out and shoot. Not sure if the fellows offering property are interested in making it an event however.Ok when are we having a cannon meet?!
