Different strokes for different folks.

Remember, you have to fully seat the projectile on the powder charge!

Hmmm . . . let's see . . . . a service load for a 3" 10 pounder Parrott or Ordinance Rifle was 1 # of powder . . . so we'll stick 5# in a wood cannon? Of course it was pretty much doomed to splinters . . . . so in reality, what did it prove? That "stupid is as stupid does"? :-)

Considering it worked with a granite ball and a reasonable charge shows that the concept could work.

Then they just made a bomb afterwards....

Mythbusters get serious this was a gun forum I thought. They lost all credibility when they said the paint fluoresced from the tip of the bullet on a tracer and their so-called FBI expurt agreed.

Sorry lossed it
