Stainless Steel Mini Cannon Model with Recoil Mechanism - Perfect for Outdoor Games and Collectors’ Gift (Blue)

The cannon works as depicted in the video. For a Chinese-made item, it’s surprisingly well-made. At $40, the price is a little high though. If I had it to do over, I would probably not buy this one, I’d spend a little more money and get a better one.

This thing is great. High quality construction and materials, looks neat. With proper training and marksmanship you will never have kids on your lawn again.I'm just guessing about that, I haven't actually fired it yet, but it's really cool.

Use wadding between the charge and the cannon ball. For cannon balls we use 1/2" ball bearings, and the charge is a standard firecracker, nothing very big.At first we were disappointed because the ball would just barely roll out after the bang. We figured it must be a pressure issue, so used a scrap of paper towels to shore up any room between the charge and the barrel. After that, it was a thing of beauty.4 stars because they don't include directions or much information.It's a very well built toy though. Should last a long time.

The mini-canon is fun to set up, and fun to shoot. The barrel pulling back on the spring is a good demonstration of physics!

I bought this for my husband to keep at work with him. It is not desk size.

It does what's advertised. You'll have a BLAST!!

There are no projectiles included. There are no instructions included. The instruction video on the product page does not address the above. The performance is definitely not as advertised, but it is odd enough to where it makes for a decent shelf display item. I didn’t expect much when I bought this, and I actually got a little less than when I expected.
