South Bend Replicas is high on theirs.  You should get their catalog.  I can't find mine or I would quote them.

Bed side commodes used to be called thunder mugs. So what are you calling a thunder mug?

That has been my definition for decades.  I think both are potentially equal in hazzardousness.

Those look like a very heavy beer stein.

The ones in the image are cast iron.  SBR actually makes an aluminum version of larger ID for use as a stein.

I've been selling Thundermugs for a while to http://www.pyrocreations.com/ They are pretty loud. Everyone has been very happy with them. I think the barrel needs to be a bit longer though. I built one and used it a bit. Was bored 1.750 and had about a 7" long bore. Would wake the dead :grin:  Loudest noise maker heard in town me thinks. You won't need a wad if you can get BP but with Pyrodex you will to get a loud report. Later,
