    Yes, that's what people use, I need an older bottle to start with, still looking.

              Oh shut up with your constant apprehension. Bowling balls will not be a problem.

                This thread has inspired me to buy something like this-


                Affordable reproduction firearms and accessories from the muzzleloading period, including muskets, pistols and more.

                  Keith offered to start gathering parts, and you've already got the cylinder covered. I figure that I'll provide some nachos or something, Alex will provide some nostalgia, and we'll be set!

                        That would be so easy to make. But I'm not putting that near my head.

                        Me and Chris have already agreed if we're making a cannon, it's going to be a pull behind the truck giant ass cannon, none of this pussy shit. I want something fucking ridiculous. Both me and Chris are pretty well equipped/qualified to undertake the project so I think we'll be fine.

                          Just make sure you have distance to shoot your pull behind truck cannon. We have to go to military installation to safely shoot ours with a piece of mind.

                          Ive see what a bowling ball will do when it skips threw a persons living room and the pain in the ass afterwards.

                            I've got 2000 acres to use in west texas which should do the job. I think a big part of it plays into your trajectory as well. Step one is make the thing

                              Fair enough. I know theyre good for a couple of miles when built right and that's just a smooth bore.

                              Our rifled 10lb gun we tracked a round out to 5 miles.
