It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Hope the Israel Masuad (sp)does not see this. Ask Jerry Bull what happens when you make a big cannon. Well actually you can't ask Mr. Bull that, the Masaud made a visit to him, he does not make cannons anymore.

Jerry Bulls' cannons were a bit different to this gun. Similar long barrel tho, but a much, much thicker wall.

However, maybe one could use this gun to shoot pig guts at the Arabs.

I've seen this one on some discovery channel show, they make em more and more massive all the time. I just cant believe anyone has the spare 20 grand layin around to blow on a giant spud gun....Although, I would prolly do the same thing. My potato guns are fun, but this would keep me much more occupied

This thread made me remember an excellent novel that many of you may enjoy reading. It is "The Fist of God" by Frederick Forsyth.

This is my pumpkin cannon on a much smaller scale. Notice the tiger torch on the step ladder and all the empty cans of coffee mate. Built this for my 5 year old daughters birthday party! LOL
