   i want, are these classed as a weapon

  i want, are these classed as a weapon 

Here?  I'd say, without a doubt, yes.  You'd need a smoothbore licence (shotgun) and blackpowder licence as well.  I'm no lawyer though so don't take that as absolute fact, just my opinion.

This is copy-paste from EDCF a Norway member...

"The cannon is, at the very least, on a Federal level, 100% legal. It is classified as an 'antique replica
firearm' and is thus exempted from basically all regulations as far as manufacturing and shipping. Inaddition it does not meet the qualifications for a weapon, firearm or explosive device as the amount of
powder used and the size of the bore (.177") are below the thresholds. Any location that allows 'muzzle
loading, black powder devices' (which is most of the USA and other parts of the world) also allow this mini
cannon with no license or permit required."

So I reckon it's legal in UK?!?

My thoughts also... Though there is nice tutorial on their (producer) website with how to make powder from matches... Fuse is what I wonder...

Maybe firecrackers can be source?? 

[dks]

or get it from shotgun shells

just tell a friend in the army to get  you some ammo (even the old banged up ones that can't be used), and take it apart carefully with some pliers.

Ok, that was awesome.  My favorite was the Naval battle mock up.  I would totally wear a pirate hat and eyepatch as I set those up in my garage. 

[ducttapetech]

that is cool, i like blowing smurf up. I have made a couple of cannons myself. Fun as hell.

[legtu]

i (definitely) want one!

[Frankctz]

Wow...
Definitely I also would like to get one...

[Grant Lamontagne]

I want a heck of a lot more than one!

I'll have to try and source some black powder first, but these could be a lot of fun!

[tattoosteve99]

Do you have strike anywhere matches? There are supposed to work also.

[nuphoria]

Poor smurfs 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Yeah but gunpowder would be a lot more fun!

I think I can get it at Canadian Tire anyway.

A buddy of mine had a potato cannon.  We had to pile about 50lbs of blocks on the base to fire it, and it would shoot clear across Grand Lake with no problems at all.  Most here won't know how far that is, but it's impressive for a potato

Cannon like that could be great fun. I guess I could also buy powder for it with my gun license  It would be nice to own a small lathe to build one - doesn't look too complicated.

I built a potato gun once.  I had about ten test fires go well, but we hadn't permanently cemented the chamber together because we were still perfecting the gaps on the homemade ignitor system.  Test fire number eleven nearly blew my face off.  I was deaf in my right ear for 2 days and had my right eyebrow singed off.  The pieces of the cannon flew 5 yards in either direction.  Moral of the story, if you only THINK it's glued together, it's not.


Mrs. Mercury was present, and you'd think she would have been worried but my friends all tell me she fell on the ground laughing as soon as it happened.
