I know they're very subtle and hard to find, but please submit one (and only one per participant, please) safety violation found in the following picture...

Linstock is too short.

NO ONE is wearing hearing protection!

FOR SHAME!!!

Failure to check to see if the range is clear behind your target before firing.

The posse in background are not wearing raincoats.

Mike Scott · « **Reply #6 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:14:22 AM »

no safety glasses

KABAR2 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:15:39 AM »

man firing cannon is not wearing safety glasses and will get runned over by the cannon
when he fires it..... gang facing gun is not wearing safety glasses
fellow tied to wheels has no hearing protection or safety glasses.......
this whole thing should be done in a field as on a town street some windows might get broke....
was cannon inspected by NSSA?

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Man tied to muzzel is causing a bore obstruction!
He should be at least 6" from muzzel

Yeah I know I broke the rules of one per.... but I couldn't resist....

Failure of gunner to stand outside the wheels to avoid recoil, may be caused by short linstock.

JeffG · « **Reply #9 on:** July 22, 2010, 08:01:56 AM »

Man in front of bore is no doubt making a lot of distracting noise....QUIET on the line!

The range officer and the safety officer are NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!

He appears to be firing the cannon with a cigar.

Smoking is hazardous to your health!!!

They are behind the camera; not part of the scene.

WHAT! I don't see anything wrong with the picture.

MAYBE. Obviously NOT doing their jobs!

I can't tell from the picture, is that a cheap chinese lawn-bomb?

gulfcoastblackpowder · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2010, 01:52:21 PM »

The man tied to the muzzle needs to be better secured, Should the last rip his body in two, this upper half could fling backward toward the man with the cigar, who may be able to avoid it if he were using a proper linstock, but certainly couldn't with the cigar.

That being said, I remember seeing this before. What movie is it from?

Ah...that's the one! Good movie!

What about how the barrel is mounted? Notice anything odd there?

Left and right are different. Is the keeper missing from the latch on the left side?

Ex 49'er · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:15:48 AM »

It's a Hollywood gun. Probably goes Boom 2 or 3 times without reloading.

Cannoneer · « **Reply #23 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:11:59 AM »

Ex 49'er, you're thinking of those earlier Hollywood Revolutionary War type cannons, this later more advanced Tinseltown Western type cannon could probably fire 12 times before reloading was needed.

This brings to mind "Open Range"; I really like the flick, but it always cracks me up when the final showdown scene comes around where Costner fans his SA Colt around a dozen times, sending a hailstorm of bullets into the bad guy.

The main event sure seems to have a bug up his nose about something .

you should be happy when cannons fire .

subdjoe · « **Reply #27 on:** July 24, 2010, 11:37:59 AM »

Man shackled to wheels will prevent proper roll out on recoil, thereby transferring too much shock to the carriage.

The man in the green shirt is Mortimer Kent, Clark's uncle, AKA Superman. Superman's uncle.

As you may well know Kryptonite is the strongest substance in the universe [that's why the GREEN shirt] so the blast is well contained and no threat to anyone.

Why does it look like one trunnion is further to the rear than the other one?
