Bowling Ball Cannon

This is a cannon I saw while at a shooting rally. It's a compressed gas cylinder with the bottom cut out and inverted on a bipod. The valve was replaced with a resevoir that contains 1 lb of blackpowder. It's lit with a cannon fuse and blasts a bowling ball into the air. Sorry for the crappy camera work but it was hard to track in the air

there's nothing like the joyous laughter of people playing with fire, explosives, cannons and other dangerous things!

@POWND18 I don't know why people doubt your genius "about guns and shit" when it's obvious that you are a reliable source of information; apparent from your mastery of the the English language and the grammar thereof.

@quisp2112 Pretty amazing, a thin wall of modern steel doing what would had took 3 inches thickness of cast iron to do just 200 years ago. So did you put any wadding with the bowling ball when you loaded it?

@barettmario fuck u asshole i know a lot of shit about guns and shit cuase i have some. u can clearly see bullets at night when using tracer rounds and the bowling ball cannon this guy made isnt nearly as powerful an m120 mortar and bowling balls are a lot bigger. plus i saw another video where the cameraman got right behind the cannon and u could see the ball. go fuck off you troll ass piece of shit.
