    Default Hand Canons

    I'm not talking about large caliber hand guns.

    Looks like smokeless powder muzzle loaded with no projectile. That would explane the need for so heavy a wall and the shock wave, ring of fire going on. I rather watch the under water shooting on you tube. It's something I wondered about since I was a kid. Slow motion was good. Like slow motion, shows some cool stuff.

    I have 6 of them. One 50 caliber, two 62 caliber, one 75 caliber, one with a 1 inch bore and a triple barrel 50 caliber one. They are fun to shoot and always draw a crowd at the range. Not accurate at all though.

    This is what the actual hand gonnes looked like. That thing in the video scares me. It looks like a bomb waiting to happen.

    The percussion coming off the thing is fairly substantial. If it ruptures in any way, you can scratch one cannon shooter and listen to the left talk about banning hand cannons, too.
    BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.
