Does anyone else play with cannons?

OK keep this thread a secret from PJD, as I do not want to be contribute to anymore of his behaviors. I have always been interested in a cannons but most of them at auctions are out of site in price. I am looking more or the big boom than the projectile. I was looking at Big Bang Cannons, they look sharp but not sure just how loud they are. I'm not looking for a 10 gauge shot shell noise but something with much more of a thump and concussion.

I think I finally found it only a week too late. It's called "Thunder Mug". I got the medium size. It's actually a black powder salute cannon. I can't wait till it arrives.

Now the cool part of my research. You can buy cannons on line that shoot wine corks to full cans of Coke, all the way up to bowling balls. Sure would be cool to live in a place where you could shoot those off. There is no doubt for $40 I'll be getting the wine cork cannon sometime in the near future.

Dan
Where do you purchase a wine cork cannon ?

I did not come up with anything - since I just googled it ?

Oh great, Dan. My husband was looking over my shoulder when I read this. Now he wants a cork cannon.

I told him he can buy a cork cannon if I can buy one of Vacuumpumpman's AIOs. Ground rules are being negotiated

You're a great negotiator and I think that's a great deal but if I was him I would up it to the golf ball cannon to keep things equal.

Gee Dan, I do feel a little left out! I never thought about this one. We usually do think alike.
