A couple of years old but first time I've seen these.
Skip to 5:15 to see the test firing of this home made black powder pistol

He made a home made muzzle loading cannon too, check out the loading at 6:00

Nuts .... there's no shortage of stupidity on utube. :lol:


I've seen a kid firing 12g rounds from a piece of water pipe on utube.

May be a cure for stupidity - I reckon he’d have a go at his own surgery!
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

Just watched those first two vids - what a muppet! Not sure what’s worse, handheld attempt with that first deathtrap or lighting the cannon fuse from the front *then hand loading and hand ramming before scuttling away.

Also, can’t help but think I’m now on some kind of watch list for watching this clown’s vids :roll:
