      I was looking at the construction
      That's a pretty ingenious use of a gas cylinder

        Man, and I thought we were funny with some PVC, hairspray, and potatoes when we were kids. LOL.

          Always measure, never use oxy or acetylene tanks they have history of failure, and always mimic a pre 1890's design or you may be creating a d&d. Fun video though and wish I had access to a range like that.

            BTW
            Oxygen cylinder pressure is 2000 psi
            So.why not?

          Cannon or mortars can easily exceed 2000 psi. 16oz of fg black powder in a 3" ordinance rifle with no round or wadding reaches 3500psi. Psi in the 10's of thousands are easy to reach, in cannons if even for exceedingly short periods of times that's all it takes.
