Here's another "image uploaded by Bob." Wonder who Bob is? This one would durn near be a candidate for the calendar, 'cept it isn't mine to give away. I've got a sneaking suspicion Bob lives out west somewhere, unless he's very good at making photo compositions.

How's this?

Very good Joe,, the judges gave you a 9.2 on those..

Aside from the captions, the color of that small cannon barrel is about the color I expect to see on 90/10 gunmetal bronze.

Allen would have gotten an 8.97 but the judges whacked him for camouflaging his caption, so only 7.92.

East German judges are still scoring low, I see.

For those of you who have been around here a while, you know that this cannon is one of Tropico's...

Non-lethal smoothbore ammunition.

However, seriously, I would be concerned that this would be an excessively heavy projectile.

Is this a line gun for pulling in ships?

Ex 49'er · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2009, 05:10:34 AM »

This is better than using a door knob for pulling teeth. Attach the end of the line to your tooth and shoot the plunger at a passing semi-truck.

At first I couldn't figure out the Tropico reference, then it finally dawned on me that Tropico used to run a Roto Rooter business.

I think that's a raised U. S., and an eagle on top of the barrell, I've seen barrels cast from this same pattern being offered for sale on the net recently. The barrel (IIRC) is 21'' long, and has a 1-inch bore.
