Ok I swear this is a honest to god story.
In my spare time I build blackpowder rifles. It keeps me out of trouble and I told the wife we got a new metal lathe at work and I figured I would turn a couple of prodgects on my lunchtime. So I have been building somthing called a Handgonne. It is basicly a barrell an a stick that you use fuse to Ignite a charge and send a ball downrange. These were the original firearms and are pretty cool to play with.
So I told her I was giong to turn a cannon barrell. she informs me I am not resposible enough to own one and well ya get the picture I went and did it anyway. I tell ya it was a sweet morter with a great sorce of ammo. Beer cans filled with cement. I mean really I drive a cement mixer and love beer so ammo was plentifull.
Me and the guys from work over the past week made about 50 rounds of ammo and I went and bought 3 lbs. of powder. we stoked the barrell with 200 grains and the cans went about 100 yards. so we really started to play.
We then loaded about 500 grains and were sending the cans well into the woods. It was a ball untill............
The police come. It seems we were not only sending them far into the woods but also into a farmers cow pature with the cows there. We fortunatly did not hurt any cows but did get out morter seized bu the police and now they will not give it back.
Good news is we made the paper. Bad news is my wife can read
