it a civilians version of an artillery piece.

I dunno, but I recently found out that artillery and stuff over 20mm or something like that may not be regulated in any way here...

Just the explosive ammo.

No way that is legal!

And no way are those idiots anywhere but inside a federal penitentiary as we're all watching the video they so foolishly posted for all the BATF agents to see.

hum.. instead of gasoline, i would mix gas and detergent.. heck add in some thermite in a cannister that is designed to open on impact.. mount 4 in a frame fire different projects in sequence.. thermite burns through the barrier, follow up with napalm and gas rounds....

That's illegal... I want one....

After playing Fallout 3, this is sooo much like the Rock-It launcher or Railway Gun...

Why gun bans will cause people to create more lethal and extreme weapons...

Why is this illegal? Is it the gas thing ?

AWESOME!!! Ok which Arfcommer was it?

In Texas, "spud" guns using hair spray, etc are not legal because they meet the definition of a zip gun. I think, but am not sure, that using compressed air is okay (internal combustion is not okay). Don't know about shooting the gas bomb.

Somebody's gonna be at the range wondering WTF all those bowling balls are doing out there.

Definitely a step up from the potato guns my friends and I built in high school. I miss those days.

Please tell me how I can purchase one

Looks as if there is some steel wool involved in there somewhere. If you watch one of his other vids he records them in slow mothion and you can see the barrel and everything flexing. Its pretty cool actually.

SWEET! Listen to the sound the bowling ball makes tumbling in the air......that would redefine "INCOMING!"

You're an expert on Norwegian law?

Last I checked, the BATF had no jurisdiction in Norway...

If they had a quick and effective way to transport raid teams there, I bet they would claim otherwise.

Hasn't the ATF said in the past that potato cannons are perfectly legal?

yea thats all great until you cook one off in the tube...

I hope that wasn't over $4 per gallon gasoline they are pissing away. That stuff is expensive!!

Those guys were playing it a little loose...the second launch knocked the mortar ass over teakettle straight back at them. We might have witnessed a future Darwin winner.

They show the ammunition and how the cannon was built at their website. The construction looks a little too flimsy for me.

I love the comments.

I am actually wondering, why would this be illegal in the US? Is gas in a can fired like a projectile considered a DD?

Does it look extra fun? Yes? Then it is probably illegal. I don't think the cannon is the issue though, it is the flaming balls o' death it fires. Only throws them at 625FPS anyways. Needs more umph.
