The quest to build the worlds smallest field cannon Pt 2.

[dominick]

Here are pics of my second attempt with 1" diameter wheels. This time I added trunnions, cheeks and an elevation screw.  It's still an 9/64" bore [.140"] and a 6-32 elevation screw. Pictured with it are 1/8" ball bearings.
  I'll make a shooting video when I get a chance.








The link below is my first attempt, which is a simpler version with the barrel welded directly to the trail.

That is cool. If for nothing else, just for the novelty of it. Put me down for one. How much $$ do I send?  Is it rugged enough for use on a keychain?

[dominick]

Mike,  I think it's heavy duty enough for key chain use.  The price will be in the 30 dollar range.  I'll know better when I build # 2.   Dom

Very nice, especially the smallest one.  They make some small pistols that shoot BBs and .177 pellets with only a #11 primer.  Pretty decent velocity I hear too.  Just giving you ideas for future miniature cannon.  Post prices soon.

I finished # 2.  I'll sell them for 30 dollars plus shipping.  Dom
