green dewback Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Other 4d Inspired by Wacky-Races and Soapbox Race. Big gun mounted on a flimsy wooden cart. The relatively flat trajectory of the normal cannon make it unsuitable for shooting uphill. Raising the angle does make it lose some range, but the spectacular high-angle flight of the projectile is worth it. Unfortunately the accuracy varies widely due to the human fingers, a less perfect release method would affect the range. It does shoot 80cm to 130cm far. Turret turns a little left/right. Powered by human hand. Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Funny indeed. You say it shoots about 80cm to 130cm far, does the cannonball lands in the barrel then? It's a funny idea but I doubt if this is useful in a bloody battle. Perhaps it's good for the morale to see such a gun. Great work. Quote
ProducePrincess Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 you would have to have a heavy weight or somthing in the front to stop it from tipping over when it fire's because wouldn't the barrel weigh more than the actual cart? still a cute idea though. just a thought , what would happen if it fired and the man was inside the basket and the cart fell back very quickly....he better hope no bluecoat's are around to get him when he flys out Quote
Guss Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 very nice^^ powered by human hands, or feet ? ^^ Quote
