      Child shot on Indianapolis west side

      I'm betting there is a LOT more to this story. I am betting the "answered the door and got shot" story is far from the truth, and I would be surprised if mom or someone she knows is not arrested by the time this is over

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      This is a 36" long piece of steel bored out 33" deep. That leaves 3" in the back if the breech. Sure it will be rounded off some but I don't imagine it will be much. The side walls near the breech which makes the walls appx 1.75" thick. The sidewalls will be turned down more on the muzzle end...

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      I wasn't trying to be a prick or hard headed. I was simply asking for something to back up your post or gives more info that shows where using solid steel follows the same "rules of thumb" as cast with a liner. If I didn't want the feedback or input I would not of made the post. It was not my...

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      INDYGUNWORKS You say that DanB's, 7" piece of steel tubbing with a plug pressed and welded into it, sounds "fascinating and well buit". That's only 2" sidewalls with a 3" bore? yet a solid piece of steel bored out doesn't sound safe? please explain?

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      Let's consider a 3" 50 cannon, most of the chamber for it is in the barrel and it ( the barrel part of the chamber in front of the breech ) is not 9" in diameter and I guarantee that it operates at several times the pressure of the black powder cannons.

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      I went to the one web site and the rule of thumb dealing with wall thickness to bore size refers to CAST cannons. Black powder is low pressure. My dad made his golf ball cannon out of 4" steel and it has a 1 3/4" bore, that's only about a one inch wall. Do any of you have specific reference of...

      6" diameter Cannon in progress

      So, I've seen a few threads about mortars and cannons lately and thought I'd share. My father, an amazing tool and die maker, is in the process of building a couple cannons. Years ago (he was probably in his 20's) he built a golf ball cannon. Well, bigger is always better, right? So he has...

      They can not release the figures. It is up to the courts if they wish to release them
