hey guys- just sharing some more of my cannons with ya'll

I just designed a "percussion-cap" breach on one of my firecracker cannons-

it's so much fun- load it up, put a cap on the rear and tap it with a hammer and it launches the firecracker a good 40' then the firecracker blows it never gets old! video coming soon
