Odd that one would broadcast evidence of one's stupidity.

you hear the ping when the tube bounces back , how thick walls do you think it is ??
1/8" ?? with an similar plate welded to the back of it .
3-4 inch bore .

I wish I had a dollar for each time any idiot fired such a thing ,
then I probably had the same bank account as bill gates

Oh you guys are so shallow....now if you spotted they were using smokeless powder that would be different.

You have to love the 2x4 rammer and how he gets his arm down the muzzle,
also the precission elevation device used in the first video

Geez such idiots. If that's not proof the gene pool needs some cleansing I don't know what is.

Ahhhh.

Candidates for the GBOCannons.com contribution to the nominations for the Darwin awards.

Should we start a pool? Or just have a vote?

They aren't eligible for Darwin...they lived.

Someone should crack them idiots upside the head before they blow themselves up instead of just their pipebomb cannon.

KABAR2, I'd seen that middle vid before, but that last one amazes me, it's a minor miracle that that contraption didn't blow apart, the breech block (or whatever it should be called) looked to be an end-cap with a section of pipe screwed into it. Those were some extremely lucky clowns standing by the side of the test range on that day.

Here's the Wyoming back fire:

Whatta ya know, I've had a 'cannon' similar to that one right here under my nose next to the 'puter for five years and didn't even know it...

I rekun it would do well with about 100 grains of Bullseye and a lead ball.

And lookie here - its big brother hiding in the corner behind my mortar ammo boxes. I've got cannons sprouting up like mushrooms around here...

dan610324 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2009, 03:26:32 AM »

why bullseye ??
as its such a short barrel , wouldnt it be better to use TNT ??

TNT is hard to get at the local gun shop............. 9/11 and all that.........

And an answer to your question about Pyrodex it is a black powder substitute with burn rate that is about the same as BP,
the problem with Pyrodex is it must be compacted and likes percussion rather than other forms of ignition, you still have
to clean the same as using BP.
