Here it is: my cannon. It shoots large missiles, and shoots them hard. It is powered by 48 rubber bands, tied together into 8 strings of 6. It is 2 feet wide (on the bow) and 5 feet long. It has an average range of about 100 feet shot from the resting position. It uses a ton of pieces, I know, though I might work on a smaller version later. If you do build my cannon, please know that I am in no way responsible for any damage done with it.
I have made a few other versions of this gun. Check them out!

Outside: The cannon shot the bullet 90 feet and almost broke my wooden fence!
Inside: VERY DANGEROUS, though it shattered a window. =-(
Elsewhere: It shot between 60-100 feet and caused potential significant damage.
I now realize when shoothing this thing I have to do it around open space, and maybe I should use less rubber bands.
That must have been cool. I wish I had been there :-)
shot 1- rubberband caught on something, misfire. Repaired in less than 10 minutes, took it back outside.
shot 2- shot about 75 feet, ammo somehow split in midair.
shot 3- shot about 85 feet, would have gone farther, but a tree was in the way
shot 4- shot about 40 feet, rubber snapped, will re-string and try again tomorrow.
Just make sure that you are using the right bands, and that you are stretching them out well before you put the on.
