Thanks Ken. I'll add them to the resource list.  

Be sure and give us a shooting report...maybe CW and I will have to come up and take some action photo's of you firing your gun!

Ken -

Let us know what the real bore diameter is.  They said 107mm (4.6") but by my calculations (1.000" is EXACTLY equal to 25.4mm) that's 4.2".

107mm cannon ball in 4.6" diameter bore maybe?

In any event the 4" pvc pipe is 4.500" in diameter if you're looking for cheap containers to fill with concrete.  (Won't go as far as heavier,denser cast zinc or cast iron spheres, though).
