More Fun With Stopping Power

[TomG]

As promised, I took my quarter scale Napoleon cannon with me on vacation along with another hard drive destined for destruction. With all of the family commitments, it took a while to get around to it, but this morning I dragged it out on the beach and cancelled the hard drive's ticket. I think the movie clip and pics show that the results were favorable. I need to find someone with a chronograph and find out what the velocity of the ball is. By the looks of that hole it was moving along at a pretty good clip.

Now that is what I call a bad sector!

How far did the cannon go?

Lol.

It rolls back about four feet with a ball, slightly less without. Not quite scale recoil, but a lot more fun.

That's a nice looking spud gun John. I have a pneumatic version that works quite well, but even though it has an explosion shield it still makes me nervous to use it. Stainless sounds like an excellent option.

Hmmm...my bore is .94". What exactly is the diameter of your barrel Dave?
