I hope he didn't get any broken glass or other junk in his keyboard. Otherwise it's a cute little thing.

There also used to be a company called diamondback cannons here in AZ that made golf ball cannons, but I can't find them anymore.

Some fancy stuff!

Bet that little one is cheap to shoot, wonder what the bore size is?
Should make one to match #4 or #6 shot, a bag would last a long time.

I used to own 1/3rd of a revolutionary war 6 pounder full sized field gun It was cast iron on a oak carnage and weighed 1200 pounds. It was cast iron with a steel liner that reduced the bore from 3.62 inches to around 3 inches. I shot lead cannon balls, canister and cans full of concrete in it. I must admit that it was fun shooting at 1000 yards at 55 gallon drums full of water. It made quite a splash when you hit it. Me and my two partners got pretty good at it too. Of course we knocked down a few trees with shots that hit low and skipped into the woods behind out backstop. A six pound WW cannon ball and a pound of blasting powder was our long range load. Canister was fun at around 300 yards we would shoot an alpo dogfood can full of .570 round balls and riddle 55 gallon drums. Everyone needs a cannon. Today I only own a small scale replica of a Model 1841 42 pounder. It has a 62 caliber bore and makes a lot of noise on the 4th of July and is also fun to shoot at targets in the back yard.

That's not a mini cannon, that's a nano cannon. Want a neat cannon Contact Seacoast artillery for a one of the Krupp firecracker cannons. limited edition available right now. And its a breech loader. I don't think it is on their website

I'll warn you about Cannon mania. lot of problems with long unfilled and lost back orders slow to no payback on credit card refunds. Lots of consumer complaints on file with the Connecticut Attorney General. Might be why they moved to SC.
