Damn you dnar, I need one of these now. Thanks a lot.

GB anyone?

Hehe, I threw all my old tube monitors out long ago, I wished I had kept them now. Looks like fun firing a miniature cannon at them! Wait, I have an LG LCD that has a ton of bad pixels, I have a plan...

I'm sure we could find someone to make those; it really isn't that complicated. A cannon really is a very simplistic weapon. My biggest concern is what happens when somebody lists 'Artillery - Cannon' on the customs declaration ;)

I just dug up a mini brass cannon I made like 32 years ago when I was at school. Complete with wooden chassis although the wheels are missing. I forgot I had until now.

All I need do is drill a firing hole. I never even considered this thing could work, it was only made as an ornament in metal shop!

In the absence of gun powder, I'll try ground match heads. I do know where I can lay my hands on some Thermite!

The company firewall does not allow youtube. :(

Making one will be a bit complicated as no lathe I know off have an simple way to make that rounded outer shape.

You just brought up some old memories.. I did a little digging...:D
In 8th grade we were in metal shop and had to make a brass
candle holder. I asked the shop teacher if I could modify the
project a bit and make this instead.... (not as small at 4" long)

It worked using the scrapings off Safety Match heads and fired a
3/8" ball bearing... Quite a scary recoil..

But I would like to get one of those mini ones...

Man now i gotta go buy one and maybe a mini trebuchet to go with it. When I was in shop all we got to make was tiny hammers and key chain baseball bats I think someone made a zip gun once but got caught finishing it and it got confiscated.
