What's the most ghetto/cheap cannon you've ever made?
Mine would probably have to be the one that I made at work the other day while I was bored. I found a scrap piece of 3/4" ID steel tubing about a foot long, so I heated up the end and melted it into the cap of a powerade bottle, then sealed it with good ol' duct tape. Ignition was done with a small hole in the end of the bottle, using flame from a lighter, or a red hot tip of welding wire. Fuel is about 3 drops of acetone from a bottle I "borrowed" from the paint prep area, and ammo is paper and masking tape wads (breech loaded with eh cap off). Good for trying to hit other guys in my area with a satisfying "thwoomp".
i made one out of a cardboard mailing tube. the projectil stoper was a pencil and the ignition was a hole that i stuck a match in. i launched soda cans about 50 feet.
i also wrapped it in duct tape.

"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

I make a tiny combustion out of a rolled up peice of paper that was tristed up on one side.
searching for a modern day savior from another place,inclined toward charity,everyone's begging for an answer,without regard to validity,the searching never ends,it goes on and on for eternity
