Powerlabs could you tell me what camera youre using? it seems as its really good at capturing thunder'ish echoes :P

Man, that was a LOOOOONG time ago! I used a sony mini DV handcam; it was expensive, but today it would be very outdated. I don't remember the model. Honestly that thing was SO LOUD that I think any halfway decent camera would have captured similar video ;)

@antiswattt2 Clearly the sarcasm was lost... but it was good one... hehehe...

@Powerlabs how loud? is it anything like a 12ga or is it a much bigger sound

You wouldn't know the point of diminishing return if it kicked you in the balls Sam.

would have been nice to actually see the "cannon"

[matataka]

haha no my phone is always like after an explosion every sound is muted! almost like hammering explosive.. just like an ear.. extremely sensitive ear! when i light some polumnas and they echo like a 15 gram firecracker.. its like the tiniest knock on a door :( hope ill someday learn to properly nitrate with H2SO4 and NH4NO3 (: ive heard that it will fire stuff really far with just a small amount of nitrocellulose (:
