Awesome Cannon

When The Slow Mo Guys and How Ridiculous got together, they didn’t just crush some heads. After all, if you’ve got a cannon that fires bowling balls at 500 MPH, you want to destroy all the things. With the help of the cannon’s maker, BealsScience, they tested the strength of bulletproof glass and polycarbonate along with a fiberglass-lined safety door.

Maker Jairus of All built an impressive replica of the Broadsider, a weapon from Fallout 76 that’s basically naval cannon you can carry around. The PVC weapon can actually fire, which he tested out in this video. If you’ve got the time to spare, check out the build video series here. Also, how many times did he say “stoichiometric?”

Inspired by Assassin’s Creed III, Richard Ryan shows us what would happen if the enemy shot a cannonball at our car in the Revolutionary War, in glorious slow motion. Wait, what? (Thanks Chris!)

Remember that tiny cannon you could fit in your hand? Now you can own your very own, and fire tiny but destructive BBs across the room. Just remember, you’ll shoot your eye out, kid.

Other than the fact that this is a waste of perfectly good cupcakes, this slo-mo video of people being pelted with the delicious pastries from a double-barreled pneumatic cannon is sheer awesomeness.
