    At college a guy made a cannon, put it in a vice and fired a 1/2 ball bearing at the wall, it went thru two thicknesses of match lining, thru the wood work shop full of students and a teacher and thru a window to disappear over the playing field. No one was hurt but the metal work room from then on had a restriction on turning up cannons!

    Im picking it will be loud and smokey which will fulfill the design requirements

    I don't think it will go very fast with such a short barrel.

    All you low estimators have no faith in the ability of VC to mix up a load that is gonna see that thing hit parliament from Nelson. Look at the quality of the workmanship in everything he does. Nothing in that says this thing won't be supersonic. Ha ha ha ha

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Is this like the age old mechanics adage 'strip the thread, then back off a 1/4 turn'

    So you would recommend standing to the side when firing then huh?
