Default Some Fun Eh?

At my boarding school there was a very talented guy who turned me a 2.5 inch functional brass cannon on his miniature metal lathe. The bore was the perfect size for a number six bird shot pellet. I broke open a shotgun shell and put 3 flakes of powder down the barrel, a little wadding made from tissue, powder from a cap gun strip to prime the touch hole and lit lt off. Loud explosion, and a tiny hole on my wall.

I understand that there is someone in Europe making these tiny guns being discussed here.
The price would make your eyes water.

Jim, his last name was Bowditch lol.
