Sons with guns

There is a 'girls shooting' thread already.
I could not find a thread for young boys shooting stuff.

Anyway. Young Monty shooting a cannon for the first time! Lucky little man.

Ah. What the hell is wrong with this dam forum and the photo uploading bullshit???
It has been going on for long enough now.
@Rushy, sorry I tried.

My boy shooting a 44 Magnum a couple of years back. He would have been 9 at the time.

Mate you got there in the end. Monty rocking the red bands and firing a cannon tells me he will be a good old Kiwi bloke when he matures. Good on ya!

I've seen a few references on the forum alluding to 40mm and things that go BOOM! but this is the first picture I've seen.

What a great piece of field artillery, I can almost smell it from here.

For a young fella growing up with that in the arsenal - I can only imagine how much fun it would be.

Nice work Dad!

And I take it those people in the background don't know you that well?
For those of you who don't know 40mm, if there is powder and/or flames involved, stand further away than that, because he is a one man pyrotechnic show. It will be spectacular.

That really depends on what I have been eating...

Oh, I wish it was mine! I have a few projects and a crude cannon that fires coke cans full of concrete about a KM.

But that is one of about 100 a good friend has built over the years, his cannon are spread all over the country. A lot of them are built around a section of 40mm Bofors barrel.
Guns like that have no problem perforating both sides of 9kg LPG bottles, sending liquid and vapor in all directions and the bottle usually flying/spinning spectacularly for a good five/ten meters.
Think lead ball slightly bigger than a golf ball....
