I love everything about this. Now all you need are some NODS, a flashlight, carrying handle, pointy muzzle brake, and camo cerakote to finish the tactical cannon off.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Hahaha. Maybe… 🤔

I’ve thought about it… and how… although “attached” isn’t part of the plan as the ATF would probably get involved.

Oh me too! One of these days I’ll have to hit them up. I think if we hit 10k I’ll have a bit more sway to reach out haha.

@dhelix85 Месяц назад

I'm so glad the sight is removable. As soon it was shown on camera I envisioned it breaking.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Oh for sure! That recoil would not do well. It usually takes us about 5 minutes to aim and it’s super weather dependent. This will be a game changer!

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Thank you!

@LexYeen Месяц назад

This is gonna confuse so many archeologists in a few thousand years! 😂 Edit: That elevation screw is a genius idea, too. Between that and the red dot, this all should really help reduce aim variability at the range!

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Between that and if anyone ever excavates our shooting range, they will find a very confusing scene! Since we’re shooting at tiny things half the time this should hopefully be a game changer!

@unusualfabrication9937 Месяц назад

Ah yes, a red dot, on a smoothbore. SURELY seriously though, cool video, it will be interesting to see if it helps

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Other than the normal point and shoot, which is awful and almost impossible, this should hopefully help with some distance shooting! We’ve got a trick for precise aiming but it’s not the best for distance.

@Pyrolev787b Месяц назад

The Abrams also uses a smoothbore cannon and it does ok. I think there is some logic here, especially if he can get the APFSDS rounds to work properly.

@victormartin2774 Месяц назад

Purists are going to scream about the red dot but it's neat that you do all these experiments. I bet that if the founding father could get their hands on a red dot they would have thought stupid not to use it.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

Exactly! That and missing isn’t fun or cheap! Some of those stone cannonballs are like $4-$5 a pop so I wanna make them count! We’re for taking names not missing! Haha.

@ianstrickland5280 Месяц назад

tactical cannon

@meanman6992 Месяц назад

You didn’t need to weld that whole bar, a few half inch stich welds alternating spaced out would have been more than enough, and a lot less heat in the barrel, and that bar.

@wastelandgentleman Месяц назад

I crack shot ideas would be for welding an adapter to a modern pintel T&E system then again that may need its own custom mount beyond that

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

I want to build it into a technical one of these days too… ride it around 1700’s Mad Maxamillion style. 😂🤣

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

@OtherWorldExplorers Месяц назад

New to the channel. Love it so far. I watched the one we were troubleshooting adding the discarding part to the armor piercing discarding sabo. I think if the sabo went all the way through the fins so they were flush at the rear of the fins. You could then encapsulate the fins the sabo everything in the discarding shell. I hope that made sense. And now that you've added a rail for a red dot site. I got to swing over to battleship New Jersey page and make the same recommendation to one of their 16-in naval rifles. Couldn't hurt 😂

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

That would have been a game changer in WW2! 🤣😂

Thats awesome, will be a helluva red dot torture tester for sure lol. My grandfather had a buddy from ww2 that had a bit smaller one in his bedroom loaded with grape shot rigged to a pull trip with a 209 shotgun primer incase someone broke in while he was asleep lol.

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

That’s beautiful. As the founding fathers intended.

@littlehills739 Месяц назад

use the hole plugs while welding too nothing wores then weld bead in there

@DH-xw6jp Месяц назад

Okay, that's cool... I guess. But what about adding a bayonet?

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

You’re actually the second person to suggest that! Maybe one day. It needs one of those giant saber ones.

@clangerbasher Месяц назад

Lego connectors soon? I hope so.

@Spessforce Месяц назад

A company called Zbolt makes a traversal and elevation mechanism for rails that will let you dial in and adjust the cannon much more easily than zeroing the red dot by itself

@seldoon_nemar Месяц назад

Your comment about taking the scope off has me wondering what the recoil impulse is like, because there are scopes on some pretty beefy modern firearms using much faster burning powder. Now that you have a really solid mount, you should find someone with an accelerometer you could lock on and get some testing with. it's a lot of force, but I'm not sure how much of that would translate into knocking an optic off zero if it's a slow impulse, Because i really want to see how accurate you can be, and taking an optic on and off isn't the best for keeping zero

@TheCannoneer Месяц назад

That’s a good idea! We shall have to find out at some point. I’m sure it could handle it but we will test it before trying for sure!

@seldoon_nemar Месяц назад

@@TheCannoneer yeah, I honestly hadn't considered having to take it off, because a mk-19 automatic grenade launcher uses optics, along with 50bmg's

@jimmybean8402 Месяц назад

It looks great! Can’t wait to see how it performs. Are you going to only use red dots or will you experiment with scopes?
