The problem is that the shell is too light and has low density, so it may not even reach 100 yards.

I made everything with 3D printing except screws, wires, and springs.

Q: "When it comes to targeting humans, how would it fare?"
A: "They might get angry. It's quite painful."

Well, over the past few weeks, many people have been curious about how dangerous this can be.

    It's the fact that it is all 3d printed, and that pretty much everyone with a 3d printer big enough can just make this, that makes it so cool. Plus, it was way stronger than I expected!
  • As an artilleryman, I appreciate this a great deal haha. I'm a seperate-loaded howitzer kind of guy, but I can appreciate the fixed/sem-fixed ammunition sorts just as well! This looks like an awesome project!

    My man’s out here making his own cannon for home defence

    This is a wok of art. Thank you for everything you do. You deserve more recognition.
  • @marcorocchi6758
    Everyone out here impressed by the fact it's 3d printed and how much planning you did, but seem to forget that it's all done INDOORS

    That is stupidly cool, i thought the recoil mitigation cylinders were entirely useless but they actually work, allowing the barrel to slide back, this is an underrated channel!

    I never comment on videos like this because theres always just SOMETHING wrong, but this time I was genuinely SO impressed with the amount of thought put into it! Please keep up the amazing work!

    This is honestly one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen anyone make on YouTube! The creativity and precision on display here is phenomenal.
  • @hornedgoober
    The time, effort, and money it took to create this, even with a 3d printer, makes this a legendary passion project. This is awesome.
  • @PlasmaFreak
    This is such an incredible use of 3D printing. Really impressive design
  • Wow, very nice job! I really want to see more ammo types from you. I'd REALLY enjoy watching HEAT and HESH shells in action :)
  • @wildcard_23
    Implementing all mechanisms of the howitzer with 3d printer and gas. Beautiful !!

    The cannon is beautiful - and, aside from the actual experimentation done on this channel, I keep learning new mechanical elements to apply in my future 3D prints. The breech system looks very fun, and I really enjoy your attention to detail whrn it comes to safety, like that disconnect able plug to avoid any potential of a misfire. The shell... I think we can call it an LE shell lol - but that water splatter says it all, the reaction really did happen!
