    i don't know but if you fill a howitzer case with a balloon full of oxy and some (well a lot really black powder)ant fit a 12g shell in the primer pocket (with a bit of machining), it will shoot 1.25l coke bottle a lot further than you expect

    was over 20 years ago but over 700m from memory

    Don't forget to protect your crony from the muzzle blast.

    Burning BP shoots several feet out of my Golf Ball Canon.

    300grains of FFG will send a golf ball out of sight at a great rate of knots

    That steel ball is going to boogie.

    Have you proofed your Canon?

    How much Black Powder are you going to use?

    Cheers
    Pete

    That is not an answer. Don't you want to win?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Calculating the angle on the dangle, the slope on the rope and the pitch on the bitch I reckon 1,786 VC. What is the prize again?

    With home made black powder I'm going to be the pessimist with it not even making it to the chrony. 0fps. First go.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    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!

    Saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal, it the quantities and the grinding on the charcoal that's the secret. As a kid we used to make our own fireworks, but chemists got wise to what we were doing and in supplies were hard to obtain, saltpetre is used in the freezing works for hides, that was always the hardest to get!

    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.

    Beat me to it. I envisioned it rolling out the end.
