Cheaper than dirt cannons
« on: April 07, 2010, 02:43:43 PM »
Good greif I got my Cheaper than Dirt catologe came today . On page #9 they are offering horrible looking cannons  . I've seen thicker looking shotgun barrels than that , .58 cal. steel and composite construction .

Supposed to be be shootable .

Looks like a lawsuit on wheels to me .

That is a Kennesaw Cannon works cannon. They are in the link list.

According to the Kenneshaw home page you can shoot firecrackers in it. They also say to use loose blackpowder and a 12" fuse.
When you're walking on eggs; don't hop!!
