Howitzer Deer hunting? What idiot does this?
I was searching for a deer hunting video and came across this thing. The first thought that jumped in my head was, what kind of idiot hunts like that? I'm a hunter myself and I think taking a shot with a cannon full of 143 huge bb's(equivalent of a shotgun) at 120 yards isn't very sporting; it's probably quite illegal. Anyway, just thought I'd post this up and see if any of you were also kind of caught off guard and how ya'll felt about it.

Besides not being very sporting, If one were to hunt in such a manner, I'm certain that if there were ANY meat at all left on the deer after being hit with that, it would be quite inedible...a total waste of the deer's life for nothing. I MUCH prefer using something in a MUCH smaller caliber so that I can enjoy dining on Bambi...
Guns are like shoes...a woman should have one in every caliber.
I'm armed and menopausal...Excuse me, did you have something to say?

Jeeezz...
did you see the picture of the skinned animal??
Looks like they salvaged quite a lot of meat.

Almost too funny. However if I were the deer I may prefer the yahoo with a cannon over a guy with a scoped .30 06

indeed it does...er, well, at least in theory it would...not that i've ever done any such thing.
when baking soda is combined with vinegar (or some other acid), it produces gas. if the mixture were to be combined in a confined space (like, oh, i don't know, maybe a closed jar) the pressure created by the expanding gas might just eventually cause the container to rupture...thus producing a BOOM.
it's the same trick kids use to make volcanos erupt for school science projects.
DISCLAIMER: You should never ever do this....only DEA agents who are professional enough to handle a glock forty should do this. Seriously, though, don't send shards of glass flying into your (or others) various body parts. Also, it can take a while for enough gas to be produced to rupture the container...so don't think "it didn't work" and go pick up the container.

My dad told me that he used to fish with a machine gun in WW2.
Just put the bbl a few feet above the water and let it rip.
The shock waves stun the fish. I personally have never tried this as I don't have a machine gun nor would it be legal (I'll have to check the book).
I'll bet the cannon hunter could also use this device to fish with.

Not that I'm saying you should do this, but I've heard of other ways to do this. Like some people putting some jumper cables on a pole while not in the water, and putting them in the water. So that it stuns the fish and they float to the top. I've always heard that if you just throw dry ice into the water, it'll also cause the fish to float up to the top of the water. They say that supposedly it causes a reaction which pulls the oxygen from the water, which then causes the fish to pass out and float to the top of the water. I haven't done my chemistry to see if this is true, and I'm a bit too lazy too right now, but I'll check in on it soon. Anyway, I know this is illegal, so I wouldn't recommend it.
