| May 8, 2017 at 15:45 | comment | added | Daron | What might be interesting is making these "cannons" on site whenever needed by 'drilling' the barrel into a cliff face or the ground. Use them as many times as they hold and then drill more. I imagine drilling at the correct angle would be a life-learned skill. And no problem with wall thickness! | |

| May 7, 2017 at 15:55 | comment | added | ivanivan | If you are trying to work around limitations on forging/casting large quantities of metal that would be needed to make a metal cannon, look to the trees. Wood cannons, built from at-the-scene trees, are entirely possible. IIRC the mythbusters did an episode on it... | |
