Hot Dogs
« on: September 13, 2008, 11:25:01 AM »
Warning - If you are a squeamish collector please do not watch this video.  These guys are being (sorry to say) morons with a 100+ year old RH Brown breechloading signal cannon. >:( It's probably a 4ga. judging by the size. As, I've said before it's amazing what you will find on youtube.

   Appetizing! You can hear an artillerist on the audio say: "No, you need compression, it'll be louder if you get compression".

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

Not only is what they're doing idiotic to the extreme, it also violates BATF guidelines (no projectiles from breechloading centerfire salute cannon).

Their gun should be confiscated immediately...





.. and sent to me.

I'm glad others feel the same as I.  I guess I just needed to rant. I'd sure hate to see that valuable item have the breech blown out. Not to mention the personal injury that could be incured.

Maybe you can track down the owner and offer a fair price that would surprise him into selling.

You might also add that shooting projectiles from the gun is a federal crime.

GGaskill,

 Thanks, but that has already been done. Their price is crazier than the stuffing of the hot dogs idea was.  :(

   That increases the amount on the bet that this guy is never going to blind anybody with his brilliance; the fact that he knows this gun is worth a young fortune and he's still mistreating it like this is just one more indication that this character should probably not be described as gifted.
