What is that cannon and where can I waste my money on it?

[–]aleahey 96 points97 points ago

www.pocketcannons.com -- don't worry, with this many points it can't possibly be porn, right?

[–]The_Painted_Man 82 points83 points ago

I was going to click on that, and then thought about the title....

Is this a site for guys with big dicks?

[–]KoRnyWayz 27 points28 points ago

Yeah, it's great!

[–]Apostolate 4 points5 points ago

I mean, me and Korny are members. You haven't heard of it painted man? You get referred by girls you sleep with...

[–]Drilz24 56 points57 points ago

I bought one and instantly I get yelled at by the gf... now I know it was a good choice

[–]JamieBainer 12 points13 points ago

They only ever yell at good things.

[–]Scarecrow398 23 points24 points ago

I was just thinking how awesome this would be to buy until i realised fuse and black powder is illegal in australia without a permit, fireworks being completely banned :(

[–]Evinreud 61 points62 points ago

Australia banned black power? Racists.

[–]Scarecrow398 5 points6 points ago

Not so much banned as you need a firearms licence, a ammunition permit, the latter two being dependant on the former for which you need to attend a club shoot 6 times a year.

[–]theempireisalie 3 points4 points ago

I now don't feel so bad living in California I guess, we're pretty strict with guns but I can still load my own shotgun shells with black powder.

[–]tremens 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure you're correct on this. First, I've never heard of a "reloading permit," and I don't know why you'd need one for black powder anyways. Black powder would be for the purposes of a muzzle loading firearm like this; you're not manufacturing ammo or anything.

Second, an Ammunition Permit is redundant by a Firearms License. It's more technically called an Ammunition Collection Permit, which allows you to collect ammo only and not a firearm.

There's actually a separate Cannon Permit specifically for muzzle loading, black powder cannons, but it's defined for purposes of historical reenactment or preservation. I'm not sure this would qualify for that, since the purpose is different, or if they would even call this a "cannon."

[–]Scarecrow398 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, you are correct, no reloading permit; A combination of firearms permit and ammunition permit is required (more money making for the state goverment :| )

[–]tremens 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe you need an Ammunition permit at all. The Firearms License should cover that. The descriptions here state that the Ammunition Collection or Purchase Permits are only required for somebody who wishes to do those things without a Firearms License.

[–]Sandmanifest 5 points6 points ago

My condolences. If you're ever in the states definitely look into visiting a shooting range. Regret it you will not.

[–]Rather_Dashing 3 points4 points ago

We have shooting ranges here in Australia too. You just can't take the guns home.

[–]Sandmanifest 1 point2 points ago

Oh that's cool then, I didn't realize you could try the semi autos etc. Still a shame owning one is pretty limited though.

[–]BetaBug 2 points3 points ago

You can take the guns home.

Source: i have a firearms licence and agun safe in my garage.

[–]Scarecrow398 -1 points0 points ago

Yea, right after i try a semi auto for the first time :(

[–]philoponeria 1 point2 points ago

Isn't black powder ridiculously easy to make?

[–]tremens 0 points1 point ago

It's relatively easy to make. I wouldn't say it's ridiculously easy. And may require a permit or license under Aussie law, I don't know.

[–]Scarecrow398 0 points1 point ago

Could be, but i would rather avoid the fine/gaol sentence and the possability of burning by desk...

[–]mongolian 0 points1 point ago

It's says you can make your own powder out of match heads

[–]Bernie_Roscoe 1 point2 points ago

Or if you want it even purer, 75% Potassium Nitrate, 15% softwood charcoal, and 10% sulfur.

KNO3 is hard to find, but many stump removers are actually just pure KNO3.

This is for educational purposes only.

[–]greath 11 points12 points ago

Wow! I lost it at this part of the video!

I want to have small army men battles with mini cannons! Why couldn't this have been a thing instead of pogs or pokemon?!?! Not dissing pogs and pokemon but.... come on... MINI CANNON BATTLING!!!!

[–]alphaweiner 10 points11 points ago

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

[–]kdoto 7 points8 points ago

Actually the one in the video is one of these: http://www.pocketartillery.com/

[–]now_in3D 8 points9 points ago

[–]JamieBainer 1 point2 points ago

If I had the money, I would set these up on remote controlled pirate ships, and wait at remote controlled boating races.

[–]Killfuck_Soulshitter 0 points1 point ago

Not safe for use with smokeless powder.

THESE ARE NOT MANLY ENOUGH.

[–]Frankeh -1 points0 points ago

I wonder if I can buy one of these and have it shipped to the UK.. Is it technically a gun?

[–]Mvin -1 points0 points ago

I love how the sole purpose of these things is to break expensive stuff.

[–]Krispyz 0 points1 point ago

Hey. You can break cheap stuff, too.

[–]keyboardlover -1 points0 points ago

I'm throwing money at my monitor but nothing's happening!

[–]Krispyz 2 points3 points ago

I used to go to rendezvous (mountain-man era psuedo-reenactments) and there was a guy who made these... called them "mini-mortars". They shot .32 cal roundball about 50-60ft. if you put enough powder in. We'd glue ribbons to the ammo so we could see them in the air and find them again. It was a lot of fun.

Edit: Took photos of mine in case anyone was interested. Here's the cannon itself, stamped 2007 for the year I got it, and here's the whole set-up: cannon, powder measure made out of a .22 shell, roundball with ribbons, and some fuses.

Edit 2: Also discovering these other ones just shoot bbs... mine you wouldn't want to shoot inside.

[–]Gandzilla 2 points3 points ago

take care people, in most western countries, these things fall under the weapon laws and are therefore illegal

[–]XenuLordOfTeegeeack 0 points1 point ago

In the US I believe these would be considered muzzle loaders therefore perfectly legal to buy/own.

[–]Gandzilla 0 points1 point ago

well in michigan you can buy shotguns and shells at Wall mart :)

[–]Killfuck_Soulshitter 0 points1 point ago

Which would still be illegal to transfer between the seller and yourself via the mail without using an FFL-01 go-between.

[–]Pants_R_Overatd 2 points3 points ago

Be careful with those fuckers, they fucking hurt if you point them at yourself right before they fire off that little fucking BB.

[–]skysoar -1 points0 points ago

http://www.pocketartillery.com/

that is the source of the artillery used in the video. They link to the youtube of this video on their site

[–]NOACeulemans 145 points146 points ago

I've been watching for over 5 minutes now and still can't figure out whether the explosion is slow-mo or not. The spreading beer splatter looks more like smoke than a liquid.

[–]Hughcumber 65 points66 points ago

It's in slo-mo, look at the glass sliding away.

[–]gnit2 57 points58 points ago

I clicked on this an hour ago, and ended up watching some guys homemade ballistic knife. Oh, youtube...

[–]kg333 7 points8 points ago

Something's not right about that boom...it's too deep, and too long. Wouldn't a cannon only sound that way if it was larger and far away? I'd expect a short, sharp report like a small caliber firearm.

[–]omnomnomenclature 4 points5 points ago

According to the video description, it's the same cannon is this one, which has a much more similar sound to what you're describing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3GSS_7W2d8

[–]kg333 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, that's much closer to what I was expecting.

The original video specifically calls attention to the boom. I think it was edited in afterwards.

[–]omnomnomenclature 6 points7 points ago

Maybe the OP's video is at half speed. That would explain a lower, longer boom.

[–]treedick2011 -4 points-3 points ago

this has got to be fake. The damn barrel of the cannon doesn't even line up with the bottle. On top of that the camera jumps right before the shot and flashes completely white.

[–]possiblefuturemarine 59 points60 points ago

was anyone else expecting only the cap to get blown off, leaving a freshly opened bottle of corona?

[–]MomMommyMamaHi 3 points4 points ago

I was, and then, when I saw that there were only 52 comments, I thought I'd read them all just to see if I was the only one. Thanks for not letting me down, pal!

[–]AmigaAllstar -1 points0 points ago

I was expecting it to create either one small entry hole, or go all the way through, and the beer to slowly trickle out.

[–]lmachado12 67 points68 points ago

What a waste of a perfectly goo- Oh wait it's a Corona light.

[–]feeblemuffin 17 points18 points ago

haha because it's cool to talk about how you don't like certain beers.

[–]EricFaust 10 points11 points ago

Somebody still paid money for that piss. Better Corona than a good beer, but still...

[–]Apostolate 1 point2 points ago

Sometimes I enjoy corona... I feel terrible for my drink choices now.

[–]craptastico 7 points8 points ago

If you like it, then you like it. Taste is never right or wrong. Don't let anyone make you feel terrible about your drink choices.

[–]MickCJ 1 point2 points ago

Agreed, to an extent. As a beer geek who enjoys craft brews, I enjoy a Corona every once in a while. The extreme lightness and sweetness from the line is a change of pace from the heavier beer I usually drink. That said, if someone only drinks corona and is unwilling to at least try other beer, then I have a hard time agreeing with your statement.

[–]craptastico 1 point2 points ago

Well anyone who is unwilling to try a new beer is like a child who refuses a food when they've never tried it before. I wouldn't want to live like that.

That said, I don't like Corona. But I would never argue with someone else that they shouldn't like a Corona.

[–]Apostolate 0 points1 point ago

If someone only drinks one kind of beer! That's blasphemy not worth discussing.

[–]lmachado12 0 points1 point ago

I actually love Corona! Just not Corona Light >_<

[–]TheHotness 49 points50 points ago

Not Corona Light.

[–]stewiecubed 0 points1 point ago

Normally I'd agree with you, but... come on. It's a Corona Light.

[–]jeffprobst 8 points9 points ago

I can make a beer disappear just about that fast.

[–]criticalnegation 8 points9 points ago

corona is not beer. corona light is....christ i'd rather drink piss. it has more flavor.

[–]nonsence101 4 points5 points ago

tosh shot himself in the ass with one of these tonight

[–]masterwolfe 8 points9 points ago

That is some alcohol abuse right there.

I work with CNC machiens and my boss and I were just talking about how we could make these. I kinda wanna try, but couldn't do it for $40 though probably.

EDIT: machines

Yeah my dad would make a bunch of stuff he made a coke bottle a hammer and multiple parts for our lawnmower Haha...not really work related stuff but oh well

[–]StaysiC 1 point2 points ago

All i hear is tristanas voice when reading the title

[–]EndymionAwake 1 point2 points ago

The whole time it was loading (and thus slowly playing out) I was assuming this was going to be some amazingly cool way of removing the cap.

Which means I was oddly disappointed by the actual result.

[–]megakippster 1 point2 points ago

NOO! why?! even if you hate corona (cant blame you there) why destroy a beer like that?!?! i would have drank that if you needed help dude...

[–]animateclay 0 points1 point ago

Once I worked in a place that had a small cap gun with a similar concept. What I can tell you is these things (without the BB) will punch a hole through all layers of the skin on your finger. My previous bosses son decided to see if it would hurt because it looked harmless. What happened next was a long trail of blood all the way to the bathroom sink and one pissed off boss. He fired the thing into his finger point blank.

With the BB it is almost similar to a .22 rifle bullet. This stuff WILL penetrate your flesh. You'd be surprised.

[–]YeNdEz 0 points1 point ago

Did you bolt it to the table? If not what happened to every action having an equal and opposite reaction?
