I always feel dumb when I think about just how many people there are out there who're smarter than me.
What a wealth of knowledge that gentleman has

That would be to much fun to use on a junk car...
Thought the cannon was pretty cool as basically it was his design,execution and finished into a firing cannon. Looks like he got the front sight globe target type from sarco which came with a card of inserts from Lee Shaver. Sarco was selling the sights and inserts a bunch of years ago so I bought three of them. All in all a pretty well old school gentleman. Frank
He certainly has fun ... I wonder what his neighbours say when he touches it off?

I always thought that there was something `moving` in watching a bowling ball be shot and the distance it would travel, never mind about how deep it penetrated the ground when it lit` down.Robert

Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

People never lie so much as after a hunt,during a war,or before an election.

Although the narrator's grasp of history is somewhat lacking! A 'pirate ship' would not have a breach loader or a rifled barrel. For practical applied purposes both of those became available just before and during the American Civil War, for cannon, that is.

Attended a demonstration some years ago by a man who collected and restored cannons with his son. They went to schools and reenactments and talked about and fired them. He said he had examples from the Revolutionary War up to WW1 if I remember correctly. He said that the most expensive shot he'd ever fired was with the WW1 gun. They fired it with a full charge of powder and it blew every window out of their side of the neighbor's house...about 2 miles away!He certainly has fun ... I wonder what his neighbours say when he touches it off?

Very cool! Wish he was my neighbor.

For those who live around here or are visiting the Revolutionary War museum at Yorktown has just been upgraded and rebuilt - and opened this spring. Among the attractions is a cannon park, and they light one off three times a day by report. Gotta get up there, maybe tomorrow.

You have to tell the neighbors and only on holidays.

That was fun to watch!! Thanks for sharing!
Don't let the 5% of people smarter than you make you feel dumb, let the 95% of the people that are dumber than you make you feel smart.
