I just picked up a zon propane cannon that needs some work I intend to write the company for a parts list and instructions but has anybody here tinkered with one of these?

Andy -
Not familiar with it. I assume it's a noise maker as it uses propane.

Let me tell you of a friend who picked up one of the tank cannon simulators that fired using propane. He had a ball! They were asked for the parade to come up with something with more noise than the black powder so they used the simulator. The crowd loved it! When he got home his wife showed him the mirror - blood coming from ears, eyes mouth. Propane is what it's cracked up to be.

FWIW. Have fun and be safe & legal.

Yes it's what farmers or airports use to scare birds away with I was thinking it woud be a blast on the 4th. Maybe I could make it look like a 105mm here is a link to a pic of it.

Let me add for emphasis, 4 rounds of a 44 magnum with out ear protection will give PERMANENT measureable hearing loss.

It the right setting it really sounds like fun.

I have a ZON like the one in the picture. Mine works with carbide not propane. They were for scaring birds but after a few days the birds get used to it and don't fly when it goes off. Mine discharges every 10 minutes.
