Mother: "Billy, what do you do with your grandpa ?" Billy: "We go fishin' !" Mother: "Timmy, what do you do with your grandpa ?" Timmy: "We fire artillery !" Stunned silence follows.
I used to be very interested in your videos until I lost my password and when I tried to find your chanel, could not find it. I am glad that I found it again
Awesome, but I always want to see the impact strike. Not sure if you're going to posting more videos of you shooting this bad boy, but if so my only recommendation would be to get a go pro that can shoot in slow motion and that you can put safely near the target. Would have been awesome to watch that thing explode in slow motion.
You need some of those heavy bearing that bolt to the caraige good heavy duty ones like on a escavater for the hydrolic cylinders and she will be staying right there And use heavy grade bolts and a better thicker metal to bolt them to.or the ones with heavy bushings for heavy equipment and a grease fitting to keep it smooth on pivoting.get those from a salvage yard or new and a one and a quarter inch plate welded really good to bolt them to or weld them by a really good man that knows how to weld them to stay
Haha, just found your vids. I'm sure there's a plethora of history to read and learn about when you start talking cannons. Thanks for posting these. Really cool. Just out of curiosity, what's the average start up cost on a used cannon?
Cannons are typically priced by how close they are to the originals. A real good replica Civil War cannon can cost 30 to 40 thousand. But I have seen good shooting cannons sell for 300 bucks. I paid $1100 for my first cannon. (just the barrel) It was a rifled 3" gun about 5 feet long. I made my own carriage out of a set of old farm equipment wheels and a chunck of an old glue lam. It was alot of fun. Check out Hern Cannons .Thanks for the comment
Looks like a lot of fun. I'll check out hern. I need another vice like a hole in the head! Rifles and pistols are bad enough. Thanks for the reply though.
The Whitworth rifles did have a hexagonal bore that was very unique. But the most advanced thing about them was the breech loading system. The rifling turned out to be not that good of an idea. Nobody is using it today, but all modern guns are breech loaders. It's the breech loading system that makes it a Whitworth in my opinion.
This gun isn't a destructive device. But it shure will destroy anyway. To be a destructive device it needs fixed ammo, shell, primer & projo all in one, if u put the primer in the gun & not the shell, then all is ok. I just bought this gun last November 😊😊😊😊
This cannon, on a beautiful carriage is for sale. If you are serious I can contact the owner and try to hook you up. You can see the cannon on the carriage in my video 2015 C.O.S.S.A. cannon shoot.
