I watched dat on TV. Those are some crazy nasty setups those guys use to throw those punkins.

SEEN OR WATCH? i been in it for the engineering club at school. I love the large cannons. im wondering why no one has used propain or some NOS


i want to build a 40 footer with a rifeled barrel like a paintball gun and use gun oil for the barrel. i think the best way to go with the valve would be a regular heavy duty lever valve, spring loaded, with a electric solonoid release to give it that snap action full open. rear hatch loader like a howitzer. set up on a tripod. have a full motorized turret for full xyz positioning. load stabilizers and range finder for accuracy

I can forsee a Darwin award if this event keeps on growin'.

Most likely in the spectator section.
