Thread: Might make one of these

Bingo it works.8mm mauser for scale. Gun is a 1/6th scale loose copy of a Bounty cannon. I reduced the calibre to .71inch for safety reasons.
Still fires a ball 80m at max elevation but only accurate for about 10m Uses 5cc of standard muzzle loading black powder. I use a tom thumb cracker wick or fine ground powder to fire it. Powder works better, I use the wifes granite mortar and pestle to avoid static, I still value what little hair I,ve got left. Sound like a shotgun so am limited to home firing on Guy Fawkes and New Year. Grand kids love it.
