Another thing to throw your money away on or could it be used to throw something else besides cans?

Molotov cocktails, nails/tacks, chalk powder, grappling hook..... bodily wastes, perhaps.

Demolition Ranch has a lot of videos of him using that can launcher but it pretty much a novelty.

A cool one but not real useful other then fun.

Wonder if a tennis ball would fit? Might be kinda fun to shoot tennis balls at crows and such that annoy you in your yard!

That's what a Yugoslavian SKS is for. Launch dummy grenades at those squirrels and crows.

They fit in there perfectly. Check the demo ranch videos on the can cannon. Here's one of them. They show him with a tennis ball at 1:55 or so.

That might be fun!!

If you ever want to shoot one let me know and I'll bring it to the next TNL clean up.

Also, they are insanely fun.

Thus far I've launched plenty of HFCS, a few too many tennis balls, a few oranges that fit, a few good sized potatoes, an apple, oh and a campbells chicken noodle soup.

A can of Cola hitting a static steel target at 10 yards is a sight to see. Fructose rainbows.

Also. Look up the MUL that they sell. For you 308 guys.

Now all we need are cans of gasoline!

See, now this has me thinking about spending money on something totally useless, but damned entertaining...

Taters, apples, oranges, peaches, beer cans, soda cans, tennis balls, perhaps frozen 16 oz bottles of water...

I could see tossing clays and shooting tennis balls or 8oz soda cans at 'em...

Why would this not be classified as a shotgun? Smoothbore that launches a projectile that could cause damage or worse. I agree its a novelty but what if you dropped a grenade in the tube? And a frozen bottle of water could kill. Multnomah County? Anybody wanna test it there?

Just askin'

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Why would this not be classified as a shotgun?

Because it was not designed to shoot cartridge shot shells or shot itself.
Just guessing here.

As to the issue that a projectile from the launcher could harm or kill .... Anything that is misused could do the same.

Please understand that I am not trying argue or sound like a jerk.

No problem. I was just asking the question. You're not being a jerk. Didn't take it that way

Lets take this one step further! Pepsi can flying through the air like a clay target and you have to hit it with your 12 gauge!

Now your talking about fun! In a safe environment of course.

 

[ArgentineSteel]

Well it's not classified as a firearm since it's just the upper. The receiver is the classified portion.

I could see using this with Tennis Balls for training Hunting dogs. Give them a good run.

 

[PDX0621]

Would absolutely pick one of these up just for the fun/novelty of it if they weren't so expensive.
