My new mini cannon!

The second one looks to be a steal. However, I bet shipping would cost another $80-$100 dollars. Unless it can be boxed and send UPS, it's going to be shipped Heavy Freight. That would suck.

I think it's worth every penny.

EDIT: It says $35 for shipping, so I'm going to say that this is the steal of the day!

These golf ball cannons look to be well made . The first is a mortar, the second a field cannon.

Wow, I was joking about chronographing the OPs little BP cannon, but did you see the ballistics on these golf ball cannons? 770 fps at the muzzle for a golf ball. That certainly could be lethal.

Just for kicks, I did a little math. A 1.25" sphere has a volume just slightly over 1 cubic inch. Now understand I'm in no way suggesting anyone fire a lead ball from one of these cannons... The density of lead is about .41 pounds per cubic inch. So the lead ball weighs .41 lbs or about 6.56 ounces. 1 divided by .41 is 2.44 so roughly these cannons would be a 2 1/2 gauge by shotgun measurements.

Don't know anything abut this company, but they seem to have some really good prices.
