As long as you use black powder, there is no destructive device tax stamp required.

At least at the Federal level. Check you state and local laws.

Looks like the breech isn’t sealing too tight. A lot of blowback.

Or maybe it’s just dust.

Imagine how much energy is required to force any projectile through a wall of cinder blocks

Yup. Cinder blocks are what I think of when I want to stop projectiles... Alrighty then.

The ancient Romans could lob a ball about a thousand yards with a catapult (ballista). Balls were made of clay or soft limestone that shattered on impact. Highly effective.

Homemade cannon aren’t for the faint of heart.

I remember a newspaper article after one Independence Day, detailing how a local had lit a homemade cannon, which then exploded taking off a large chunk of his head.

Unless there is a military emergency of some kind, I’ll pass. ;-)
