Wow, that actually looks like they just made clones of my first cannon and strapped them together.
But I say if there's a community project, we make a scaled up version of the BB Gatling gun that one guy made. We could make one that shoots 3/4" ball bearing instead....

My question is "Why is this in an art museum?"

spud gunning/building spud guns is an art. not everyone can do it. therefor it belongs in an art museum.
that cannon looks cool, but i see no point, it would take probably 10 minutes to load it and take maybe a second to shoot it if they all fired at the same time.
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote
you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"

Yes, but it's a different degree of art. It's not meant to be in the same building, let alone the same room as paintings. And that cannon could be modified for rapid fire. Although it may take some work.
