I take no responsibility for anyone making cannons or home made black powder do so at your own risk!

Thanks Marty but I hope you understand that I need to remove the post from Mayhem!

.... If you want to blow up the world, please contact Marty privately and off Mayhem.

Unfortunately the forum admin feels that my post on working cannon construction using pyrotechnics is not appropriate for the forum so a few of the links off my post as well as the instruction have been removed.

I have no issue with that, as pointed out its a family forum and giving out formula for making explosives is probably not a good idea on a family forum, (should have though about that a bit really) but if anyone is interested on making working cannons as the display teams do please send me a PM with your email and i will mail you a set of instructions and relevant links on how to construct such items.

Thanks for understanding Marty, I don't have a full grasp of the anti terrorist & internet laws in the UK and I don't really want to find out first hand! 

However I have found this, it's a party popper canon that Jimmy James uses on his 'FIREDRAKE', I'll post the photos and he can tell you the details.
 ( I think it's a brass canon with a hole in the back for the draw string for a stripped down party popper. A servo pulls the string and BANG! )


Jimmy also has the only model I know with a model of the modeller on it!

   I've got 5 models "Freebooter, brigantine,,, Fire Drake, privateer barque (AS seen in above pictures) Wyvern,privateer topsail schooner,,, Wolfs Head, armed lugger and Sultan, steam ironclad sloop o war,,all with guns using party poppers which is an indoor fire work, for details check the thread YACHTS & SAIL R&D Brigantine Freebooter,
