Mini Cannon

[Ahenzy]

Anybody have one of these mini cannons? You load it with black powder like a real cannon and it shoots a BB. Real fun to load and shoot.

Yeah, those things are not something I should have - too much temptation to try indoors and I don’t want to replace a patio door or a TV right now!

Ooooo just ordered one

Thanks for posting! I was looking for a gift idea and this will work perfectly.

Approx. muzzle velocity?

Didn't see specs
Nice little toy
Better than a pnfire

If you have one, you should rent it out for gender reveal parties... for the children

I turned one on lathe when in high school that shot .38 lead balls. Used cannon fuse and 5 grains pf fffg.

Great idea! I'll probably use this when I'm playing with the kids and their toys, though my Mrs probably won't think it's a good idea...

Did someone say "1812 Overture with cannons"?
This could be fun for the 4th of July parties.

Thank you for posting.

Best regards,

I am not sure the muzzle velocity and specs but I was able to fire the ball thru an empty coke can. It is fun messing with the amount of powder and figuring out the wadding to ensure a good fire. Everyone that I have shot it with thinks its the coolest thing and puts a smile on their face.

Haha I had the exact same thought when I first saw it.

Yes I got one for Christmas last year.

They are no joke. I was worried the libtard neighbors were gonna call the cops on me when I shot it in the backyard. Sounds like a .22LR when fired.

[McNally M.]

This would get the cops called on me faster than it would take for the lit fuse to reach the gunpowder. But dang am I tempted...

Wasn't there a kids toy like this back in the day? But instead of black powder it used some non-combustible material? I think Pawn Stars may have even featured it in one of their episodes.

^ I think you're talking about a carbide cannon.
