just some damage pics after a few hours of shooting my 1/2" ball Valve cannon (unposted because it's not 100% done) that I use for shooting lead shot :) I will post my cannon when its done (right now its kinda ghetto because i was on a tight schedule) but as a teaser I'll tell you that its a suppressed 1/2" ball valve (basically nothing special)

Cavitation!!! 10mm lead balls were used, and the hole through the inside is about 2cm

firing a 10mm lead ball through a water melon, and yes that's cavitation :)

My panzerschreck (not mine anymore cause I sold it) just about does that with chinese oranges :) But cavitating a watermelon isn't half bad for a marble caliber ball valve gun.

These vicious watermelons keep popping up araound the globe.

It's about time somebody put an end to it!

The oranges we have around here stay out of trouble but boy...if I'd get a dime for every banana that has tried to eat me..

great pics!

Pretty good for a simple bv cannon!

Thanks BTB, I also shot a dime with a lead ball at 160psi So I guess your short 10 cents :D

All shots were taken at 160psi, I do have a shock pump but the 1L chamber is a pain to pump up. I will take some shots at 250-300psi when I get a chance. Also we fired a 10mm lead ball into a tree where it will stay (imbeded about 1.25").

The Doom Melon!

Nice shots. Good thing the starving children of the world don't have the internet, they'd be very unhappy to see what we do with our food surplus :roll:
