could you put an aluminum streamer ont he beer can to give it a

Commo wire wrapped around the object so it lags behind works well
after it unspools.

Beer cans sure make a wierd sound as they tumble....

My first homebrew cannon had a 3" bore and would shoot a concret

Just how much ammo was "prepared" that day? What brand was the beer can?
I smell a commercial! I used FF for my now demasculated cannon, what
propellant is right for the 3"?

Given his nature..I suspect at least one full 6 pack too many.

2F works fine, about 3 oz would toss a cement filled beer can, best as
we could figure..about 2000 yrds across a small lake..even with
binocs..we didnt see a splash unless we lowered the muzzle below 45
degrees
