Gun Cannon Bamboo

Kids at Fiji have a great understanding of fire, this bamboo gun is one way they enjoy the freedom of island life well away from the restricted modern day living in most big cities.
Respect for fire is something sadly lacking in modern day society, its great to see these kids enjoy the adventure of a fire breathing bamboo gun.

Play with fire, either you win or you burn.

Not recomended for home use, extremely dangerous, hazardous, but heaps of fun.

I have to argue that..the problem is these days no kids in the modern world has any respect or control of fire..

Understanding fire is a absolute core to our existence and while we can sit here today at computers thinking how far we have come, reality is we are going backwards, next will be writing, better get ready to go back to the cave, this time without fire.

We used to make these when we were kids in the Philippines. Green bamboo, tilted so the kerosene would pools under the lighting hole and let it rip. What you are lighting is the fumes from the kerosene, especially after it was heated up a little bit. Once the constant firing weakened the bamboo, though, look out. It would eventually fly apart spraying burning bamboo and kerosene around. But for a few hours, it was good fun.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I have to say I wish i was doing this when I was a kid, I loved it.

Sadly these days the aspect of learning the control of fire is being lost on the new generations of kids as they prefer to play on computers or inside, the real adventure is always outdoors.

Fire is only dangerous if you don't understand or respect it.

here in the philippines we put smaller holes at the breech of the bamboo cannon to produce louder bang..due to loud impact of the explosion..sometimes the cannon breaks in half
