Yes. I thought we were in for another 20 pager on the pros and cons of firearm ownership in the US...

No that or something like it is happening elsewhere. I am sure I will get some complaints.

Anyways, I would love to hear a cannon like that be fired!

My version of gun control is controlling when, where, how, and in what direction I shoot.

Got to hear and see cannons like that being fired at night at Fort morgen at the mouth of Mobile bay ,all I can say is that is was Damn impressive.

I CLEAN my gun with Outers Nitro solvent, a barrel brush and swabs. I OIL my gun with Outers Gun Oil. I don't CLEAN my gun with OIL!

I use Hoppes, but Outers is good for cleaning also. I do like a graphite based grease on my revolvers and Rifle Bolts.

Looks like it's just cement poured in the barrell? I wonder if these could be restored to service easily? Be kinda neat to see them go at it full-on..

Gun control? I don't have any problems controlling my gun. I just point it at the bowl and let fly. Always lift the seat so as not to offend any of our lady friends.

The local shooting range (in Tenafly, NJ) near me has a charity Turkey shoot every so often. You don't even need to own a gun. They supply a .38 loaded with wad-cutters. I don't recall how much it was (<$20, I think), but it sure is great, inexpensive fun for introducing people to shooting. I brought my former wife, her brother and his former girlfriend, none of whom had ever fired a weapon before. They loved it!

Also, they got to meet a bunch of local guys who like to shoot at the range. None of them are "gun-crazy" wackos, either. Just nice, normal guys with professional jobs, families, etc.

Overall, a great exerience to wake people up from the myopic anti-gun fallacies about gun ownership.

I took my wife and eldest son to the local gun club that I was a member of.

It turned out she was a better shot than me with a pistol

The eldest son is now a weapons instructor in the Military Police.

It happens. My oldest is better than me though he can actually see the target at 50 feet.

Where I worked once we had a daily noon gun, firing a healthy powder charge from a 4" naval gun. Very impressive boom!
Later work had me travelling a lot, and on one trip the local contact took me to his cannon club meet. They had frigging large cannons (not quite in the league of the first picture, but sure dropped the back of a 1 ton pickup) and fired cement slugs into the New Mexico desert. The sound with a projectile in the barrel is entirely different, the pressure wave will knock you over if you're close to the business end when it fires. The slugs are fun to watch, too, they go damned far and fast but you can watch the trajectory and see the dirt splash at impact. I would guess they travelled close to a mile.

ledbetter · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2007, 01:31:47 PM »

OK all this talk of cannons reminded me of a story that father-in-law told me once.
this happend many years ago,his brother-in-law was and still is rabid collector of military historical items,he found and bought a civil war cannon from a man who was a battle recreation's,well we and my father-in-law decided that thy wanted to shoot this thing just hear it roar,thy made there on projectiles from cement poured into Styrofoam cups, :Dabout an hour later the sheriff comes pulling up like a bat out of hell, an tells tham that apparently there shells where landing in a neighbors Field across the ridge and scaring the hell out of the cows ,thy thought that thy where hitting the side of the ridge,but that did not take in to account how much powder thy where using and the angle of the gun.

I learned to soot bird by my step-father. He threw lightbulbs ----- which I was supposed to shoot without shooting him.

He's still alive, and I can put holes in a paper plate at 100 yards with his 30-06. I'm sure others here are a better shot.... No boasting going on here.

I'll always appreciate knowing how to use a gun well.
