A barrel?  

[I am an eggplant]

Maybe this will give a better perspective.
 

[Das Rabble Rouser]

A really big silencer? xd  

[I am an eggplant]

Damn, you got it.
Real men carry 80 pound suppressors.  

[Das Rabble Rouser]

Really though is this even firearm related? If not give a hint as to what it's for.

This will fit in the hole when finished.

Home made mini cannon?  

[I am an eggplant]

More or less.
It's my own adaptation of the Coehorn mortar.
I'm building it in my machine shop class while everyone else is making a brass hammer.

Nice. biggrin You should make canister shells with coke cans.

To avoid having my dogs shot/neighbor's house raided, I'll just be using pyrodex and soda cans filled with sand for the time being. wink

4 AM = time to start thinking about bed.
I'll leave gaia as my home page so Stoic doesn't have to jog my memory on Arfcom again.

Nice! Be sure to post results if you try it.

I'm making a blackpowder cannon in my shop class. Sophomores making BP cannons in high-school machine shop FTW. heart

'Course, mine will only end up with a 0.33" diametre, shooting .25" ball bearings. Are you just using cold rolled steel? Fuse ignition?

Pro. mrgreen

Not too sure about the steel. My instructors had it sitting in a dark corner and didn't know jack s**t about it.

I'll be using cannon fuse when I'm lazy since I have a couple hundred feet of it. If I feel creative, I'll ******** around with nichrome wire.


About ready to shape and polish. My instructor kinda ruined my pretty crown by bearing down on the chuck. neutral
