  1. We just lost two local privately owned (open to the public) that are soon to be paved over with soulless McMansions. Could be worse. It could have been perfectly good farmland. Between lower numbers of rounds and higher property taxes I am not surprised.

  3. ​ @Longshot762x51  A blacksmith/welder l worked with built his own smooth bore cannon. DOM steel tubing with a second section of tube heat shrunk onto the breech end. Breach end was threader with the plug screwed in and welded in place. Bore sized to use aluminum cans. He'd shoot into the hill behind his house.

  6. Bore sized for golf balls on a par 3 course. There used to be a "driver" that took a blank round that when fired shot the club face forward against springs. The Bloop Tube makes more sense in my opinion.
