Anyone build one of these?

I want something that makes a nice boom but don't want the hassle of messing with propellants.

I played the video and it wasn't very loud.

LOL the video is about as much of a joke as a stripper with a 3 inch penis.

Looks a bit like a classic potato gun, and those aren't very loud.

Propane cannon, interesting...

I'm familiar with carbide cannons which make acetylene from reacting water with calcium carbide. Large ones are loud enough to rattle windows a mile away but they are messy and hard to automate. This looks interesting and we have a few extra 100# tanks that are nearly full.

We had them all over the place to keep the birds from eating cherries and whatnot. Maybe you can build them, but I thought the farmers just bought them.

Yeah they sell them in the Northern Hydraulics catalog. I understand they are about as loud as a 12 gauge shotgun which is good for busting birds, etc. I want a deeper boom like a field cannon.

It uses propane gas to cause a detonation sounding very similar to a shotgun.

Isn't that descriptive enough?

Shotguns are not loud.
