Grape Shot

[critical_al]

Would love to hear what you think of this.

Wow, shiny and reliable, 2 in one deal.

No need to paint too.

You need to use different ammo than grape, and you should maybe hybridize that, but i dont know the max psi of brass.

Whoa thats one nice shiny cannon
Love the blingbling look of it

Awesome it surely is

It looks like some civil war cannon and really you do need to find a new ammo. Do you know what size barrel it is?

"Steampunk" comes to mind.

That's really the craziest thing I've seen all day (maybe all week).
It looks like some kind of grand prize trophy for a contest we might hold here

Great job (whoever).

It's nice looking, although I have to say, I was thinking the cannon kind of grapeshot when I read the title.

Looks like some controls out of a old style steam powered locomotive engine. The valveing and such. Thats nice ass cannon!

Now that you have it, keep it by NOT sneeking it into any kind of socail function just to wind up in some kind of trouble giving the hobby a bad name.

Dude think about it, you don't get something this nice as easy as it sounds like you got this every day. Don't be dumb! Keep this nice peice and yourself out of trouble.

You truely have one of a kind.

I remember seeing this on the UKSGC perhaps a year or so ago, or maybe it was a similar one.

But whatever, it truely is a piece of art.

Edit: Found it. http://www.uksgc.co.uk/forums/index.php ... 9&hl=brass

Yes, this is indeed the same cannon off the UKSGC.
But that doesn't make it any less beautiful or unique. I am rather envious to be honest - fortunately, I can pretend that because it's a combustion, it doesn't matter too much.

So, jddrw, that means the social function in question is long in the past.

@paaiyan: Grape shot has been a long term joke at my house, because grapes were one of the earliest ammunitions I used on a regular basis. They don't get used much any more, because I found that high pressures and fast valves (which is all I do these days) would turn them into wine before they left the barrel unless they were frozen solid.

looks so.... hmmm... brass ??!! (?)

I was hoping this post is about a real grape shot.... you know lots of metal stuff fired at once... intended to work as a shotgun shell.... anyone here likes firing 10 nails at once ??

[rna_duelers]

Wow,that's beautiful.Love the brass look it amazing,hope you look after that thing.

[ralphd]

It's also an expresso machine. Right?

[Launch-Tek]

It looks like it should be in a glass case at a museum.
The builder is an artist.
And as always shiny things look cool. 8)
