Do you need a stamp for a cannon?

 

[smith625]

Just buy it Joe, then i can shoot it.

I don't think that tree in your back yard is a big enough back stop! but if I get it I'll be over

Why don't we, the members of Bayou Shooter chip in and buy it. Has anybody ever shot a cannon? Would you like to? We could really blow some serious #%^&@ up, plus talk about bragging rights.

Is it possible?

That would be neater than t*tties. Do they allow them at ya'lls competition shoots?

 

[Barney88PDC]

Only if they make Major.

cannons of any size dont need a tax stamp, as long as they load from the muzzle, no cased ammo.

Shooting those things gets expensive, they usually take at least a pound of powder, and black powder aint cheap.

 

[jimdana1942]

Years ago I saw one fired at a Civil War re-enactment. They put a bag of blackpowder followed by 3 bags of ammonium nitrate, then stuffed with paper wads and fired. What a blast. It was about the size of this one. The guy said it has a 5 mile range.

Only when we had matches at the BZ.

Finding a place to shoot that would be a problem. Maybe Dragon Indoor?

cannon power factor

Only if they make Major.

A lead bullet with a diameter of 2 1/4" (r=1.125) that was (for example) 3" long would weigh 2215.09 grams based on the density of lead; this equates to 3410.55 grains. This projectile would have to travel at 48.37 fps (or 32.97 mph) to make major power factor of 165. Reloads may take a while, but at least you're more likely to break the perforation. As an added bonus you could fill it with chains and horse shoes when you manage to wheel it over to the texas star.

 

[LACamper]

And you won't have to worry about the plates not falling!

 

[DesmoDucRob]

If you've ever seen me shoot a texas star, you'd know that somehow I would still have to worry about plates falling

All shenanigans aside; That is a nice piece of equipment. Hope it finds a good home...

It is a reproduction (no real bore-ATF will not allow production of working cannons). Cannot be shot. Original would cost $40,000+
