Biggest gun I ever shot was in college. A sterno can hand cannon ...lobbed some beenie weenies cans out one dorm window and thru another one in a tower about 100 yards away...thru that guy's window and took out a big chunk of cinder block...missed his head by a foot or so.

Problem was...he was blind....The Roberspierre gang at my dorm threw me out. I was moved to another dorm and was elected dorm president.

The weapon was sort of like a hand held punt gun....I'd guess around 0 or 2 bore. I don't know if it'd penetrate an elephants hide but I bet it would knock the breath out of him.

Ignition was a bit tricky.

Hmm, smashed in the head with a can, or dinged in the head with a .22..... Hmmm...

Some things I hope I never experience.

Remainds me of the guy sitting in his car at a supermarket when he heard a large bang, a sharp pain in the back of his head . When he reached back he came back with a handfull of bloody goo, freaked and called 911 for help as he'd been shot in the brain in a drive by he said.

Well seems that the little womans groceries in the back seat got hot and a can of pilsbury biscuits "expanded" when they got too warm and blew up . The tin part of the biscuit can hit the guys noggin , cut him just enough to bleed a bit and when he came back with a handful of warm dough and blood the rest was history per se......

Stay Safe !

If you can, freepmail me some details on the sterno cannon. I'm looking for a way to launch a fish rig with bait and sinker out past the breakers where we surf fish.
