Muzzleloading cannon are generally legal to own and shoot without any license.

Can’t wait to see this episode! Also, I’m waiting for the knee-jerkers to scream that “something needs to be done!!!!” about the show.

I’m actually mostly amazed that the Sheriff’s department has a bomb range.

What is it they say at the beginning of the show? “The Mythbusters are experts with years of professional experience. Don’t try this at home”.

I wonder what their insurance rates are to film a show like that?

Instead, it passed over the barrels, through the wall, and then took a "very unfortunate bounce that sent the ball skyward," Nelson said.It's called grazing fire with solid shot. Was a favorite for about a century. Ugly results into massed ranks. It just don't stop. See Gettysburg for the results.

You shouldn’t be, given what section of the country it’s in, and also given the time we live in.

Actually I've been thinking more along the lines of a trebuchet for chucking water balloons at my neighbor when he's out on his raft.
Maybe I'll get some Michigan FReepers together and lay siege to Ann Arbor.

Wow! That’s a heck of a lesson in “inertia.”Well, technically momentum, not inertia...
To: marktwain
