New BNA swivel gun
« on: May 11, 2012, 03:48:42 PM »

I've always wanted a swivel gun for my boat so I finally broke down and bought one. It's a .50 cal from BNA.

carmy53,

 Congrats on the new purchase. You just can't beat Jim's products. But, they are a bit like potato chips.....  You just can't have one...... ;D ;D ;D

At Jim's prices I'll probably only have one for quite a while.

Yes but unless you mount it on the bow or stern your boat will be lopsided...
if you mount it on the port side you'll need one for the starboard side to balance things off.....  ;D

I wonder if the Irishman could get into making the swivel base for one of his golden guns, now there is a nice cannon.

Maybe if I mounted a bunch of them on the back of the boat and fired them all off at once I could use them to power the boat! ;D

Now are clicking,  always look for justification to get a new cannon-to power boat.  Never consider the negatives---wife, they are not relevant!
