STEP 2: Building the Body.

STEP 3: Building the Barrel

this is the hardest part of the cannon.

STEP 4: The Wheels

this is not the hardest part but its difficult.

STEP 5: Loading and Fireing

Stick some gunpowder in it followed by a small piece of tissue then a BB. (Then i stuck a small black rock as the fuse cause i ran out of fuses)
Then take a lighter or a match and light the fuse or black rock on fire. ^.^
(the black rocks come out of fireworks)
Have fun

can I use a small firecracker instead of gunpowder?
you might i havent tried
Try using pull string fireworks from party poppers, they work great.
nice! I've gotta make one of these i think we have a 22 calli pistol I know we have a 22 rifle I shot it wen I was 6.
ya my grandma has on i guess I'll ask her for a few bullets and make a triple shot!
What if the cannon spins around, and shoots some one lol. I don't think a triple shot will work.
Just anchor it down.
Let 'em taste the triple guns!
hahaha I did the exact same thing here except I took an empty co2 canister cut off the nozzle...basically the same just bigger almost perfect size for launching marbles
