Tominator Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Oh my goodness. Wow. Those guys down range are either really stupid, or really brave. Imagine what the battlefield looked like with a hundred of those going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Oh my goodness. Wow. Those guys down range are either really stupid, or really brave. Imagine what the battlefield looked like with a hundred of those going off. You only see one go off in the video, but they had actually shot two at the same time. It was about 30 seconds longer before the second one went off just as powerful. They were going 18" in to the ground when they landed according to the commentator.

GWSmith Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 The explosion looks cool.....thinking about it for awhile though and knowing the flying shrapnel used to be ripping through the flesh of Americans coming from other American cannon just makes my skin crawl.

buckee Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 That's pretty cool Ken. I bet that would get the deer moving. My wife would get sick too if we were driving anywhere near a Cabelas. I hope she's feeling better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
