Kick of a 3" Air Cannon

Here one can see how much kick a 3" bore air cannon has when firing a water-filled coke bottle at 100psi. (It came close to knocking me off my feet, notice me step back to keep my footing.)

I used to fill mine with water... the kick was so intense that I actually broke it once when it slipped out of my hand and cracked on a wall behind me.

@MrBrentMichael I think it's a bird. We have a shit ton of doves that aren't really skittish around here. Makes for wonderful hunting.

@isaacopedal i have a cannon with a 3 inch tank and 2 inch barrel and shot a 7lb. 2 inch dowel, and it almost knocked me over.

I keep pressing 5 and my maturity level goes to that of a 10 year old.

I use the same over-under cannon style, except my cannon has a 10 foot long barrel and air tank. It's not very portable, but it shoots dowels a heck of a long way. :)
