Silkie McDonough Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Won't let me watch & I ain't signing up. I know that Kate Souirs (sp?) has a pretty small firing cannon but I have never seen it actually fire any projectile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Bess Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 World's smallest Cannon?? Jeeze, I thought that was the nick name of this guy that used to hang at the Irelands 32 Pub.

Silkie McDonough Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Nice. All I am going to say is that Kate's cannon in longer. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Nice.All I am going to say is that Kate's cannon in longer. hehe I had a video on MySpace posted of Kate firing her canon, and it seems MySpace purges videos over a certain age, because it isn't there any more and I know I didn't delete it. While we usually don't fire anything from it, we have in the past done so (usually leather bits left over from when I do leather working with the leather hole punch)... The accuracy is terrible, but we did manage to hit the broad side of my old van from about a dozen paces once. It did make a fun cake topper (just powder, no projectile) for M.A. d'Dogge and RedJessi's B-Day cake last year. I think someone even ate the piece of cake with the black powder burn in the icing!

Cascabel Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I wonder what kind of powder he's feeding it. It seems to be sort of a reddish brown color...... >>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 In the video, he just says it's gunpowder. Or maybe it's a trick of the filming and it's ffffg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It is a rather cute wee thing, isn't it? So, is Iron Jack going to make himself one to add to his cannon collection? ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Tartan Jack Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 world's smallest cannon. Nay, I want the world's BIGGEST cannon. I thought the biggest one was the one in the Kremlin in Moscow.

Capt Thighbiter Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That's an accurate lil bugger, but I believe someone on the GBO cannon forum makes one smaller that uses BBs for ammo. A caution to all: All cannon, regardless of size, can quickly become a pipe bomb instead of a cannon , unless designed and made properly.

DeviousDi Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Aye, too big 'n' too small! I prefer my own (1/3 scale) 6 Pounder. She'll put a 1" ball through 7" of solid oak ..... just need to make a naval carriage so I can make 'er a bow gun (For scale, the wheels are 20" diameter) Captain of Enterprise out of Rheault Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must agree with Capt Thighbiter . As an active GBO cannon member is familiar with the Nano~Cannons the machinists build there. hat's an accurate lil bugger, but I believe someone on the GBO cannon forum makes one smaller that uses BBs for ammo.A caution to all: All cannon, regardless of size, can quickly become a pipe bomb instead of a cannon , unless designed and made properly. Tartan Jack I do believe you you are right . I thought the biggest one was the one in the Kremlin in Moscow.Though, it has never been fired and the balls made for it are wider than the barrel . . . And finally as we ALL know thats not the worlds smallest Cannon. Its the worlds smallest Mortar LOL. Its not shaped like a cannon ., its more of an interpretation of a Civil~War Dictator~Mortar and carriage. THE SCHWERER GUSTAV is definitely no slouch ! The Gun in India is pretty cool Black~Hearted~Pearl ! My personal favorite for the worlds largest gun sits at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma AZ ..., They call it Nuclear Annie ..., I think you can all figure that one out Edited August 11, 2010 by HarborMaster I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.
