laser-cut Big Gun cannons

A thousand appologies for hi-jacking the thread by the way. I did not realise that I'd get responses. At first I figured that I'd best not post, since I really have no practical experience at all with this hobby. yikes...talk about sticking your neck out. But thats the way one learns I supose Anyway, I can start another thread if things progress more toward the practical application of this experiment.

Cheers,
Thomas

 

The loading ramps.... Are they angled as ramps, or are they horizontal slots?

 

They were slots. I believe the intent was that if needed one could make a slope out say silicon.

 

That sounds reasonable. And while rolling on the waves, I think they might fill well until nearly empty. I wonder how well they filled while in bench testing? Very interesting bulls concept, though. Kudos.
