[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3201026, member: 43754"] Yep that is my "popcan" mortar. Primary ammo is empty beer cans filled with cement. That orange ball is a zinc popcan diameter ball ball I get from Rotometals.com. Dom Carpenter built the gun for me 10 years ago. The gun weighs 93 lbs. 150 grains of Cannon is good for about 100 yards for a cement pop can. That same load will send a round ball about 140 yards. Three or four years ago built a Dictator kit. These were "popcan" mortars also. My wife bought one and she and our granddaughter built iy together.

The kit mortars are slightly smaller than my mortar. So now we have his and her mortars.
