*** I DONT SELL THESE, BUILT AS PROOF OF CONCEPT ONLY*** EVERYTHING IS ANSWERED IN THE COMMENTS
I built this to prove that the other mini cannon owner on youtube 43287633 was not using trickery and it was a posible project. Hes now getting a bit arsy with me that I did not mention him or anything. In fairness I did try to contact him several times. Hes now filing DMCA's to other mini cannon makers on youtube. Such as MicrotekMybisi.

  • He didn't make the cannon.

    He bought it from pocket cannons . com and painted the bottom gold.

  • @C00lfaec I think i made this before they come out. anyhow, mine has a tapered barrel for starters and a mild steel base tapped and screwed. similar looking though. and i wouldnt pay 47 dollars for whats no more than a mornings work in the workshop.

  • what did you make it out of

  • @TheAirhunter69

    brass bar

  • what's the barrel/body made of? you shape the metal yourself? aaand advice for getting the hole size right?

  • @rednekoboy I used a 3mm hole almost through to the bore. then a 1.5mm just at the end to keep the gases focused.

  • @akinorhan5 I don't know who's dumber, those scurvy-ridden pirates who actually used these, or you. I'm gonna go with you, at least the pirates had bigger cannons lol.

  • @C00lfaec idiot i made one at shool with a lathe and milling machine

  • @MrThumbwii

    Most people such as myself aren't engineers.

    The concept of a cannon is simple; the chamber holds the pyrodex power and the ball and directs the energy from the explosion forward, the fuse hole allows you to ignite the powder in the chamber, and the bottom soaks up recoil to keep the cannon on target and more predictable.

    However, there's more to it, you cant just drill 2 holes in some brass, slap some wheels on the bottom and call it a cannon. That will blow you up.
