I know that, but did you expect anything less outta me :)



Well WTF why build a Cannon that is non Functional :) How can that be any fun after you get done building it

ha! it's easy just to shave off the holes and you're good to go.

i got 85% on this project, although i was expecting less because i messd up my cannon really badly. :razz:

HA! What size do you have to stay under to keep it legal?

There really is no law banning such weapons. Black powder cannons can be built like a replica with out any permits needed to own.

Youtube Bowling ball cannons, pretty bad ass!

srsly

I'm willing to bet it doesn't fire. I don't think you could get away with building a projectile weapon in school.

of course it doesn't fire, the cannon has blocked/closed holes on each side.

I machined a hammer in high school metal shop and one of my parents had to come pick it up from school for me. That thing also cost the school the medical bill for 3 stitches at the local urgent care facility, due to my clamps coming loose. My teacher inspected my setup and stated that it was clamped securely. So the school had to pick up the bill, cause there wasn't any personal injury release forms in place.

lololol it took me 3 months or so to build this, 3hrs class every week. I still need to polish it.

making the wheels was the most fun i ever had. i made the cannon first, then we did the Base/cart thingy after that. we got devided into 2 groups, first group started with the cannon which was us, then the other built the cart thingy

yes all built hahah except the bolts to secure the wheels, they were bought.
