6'' broadhead will it work

Why

It will take a lot of force to move it and would ruin more meat than a lot of rifles. That guy obviously has to much time on his hands and I can’t imagine it being accurate. So I agree with dnb...why?

my question is why not

Why not? He obviously didn't build it to hunt animals. Just having fun with a home made cannon.

Because it's dumb

He said he’s gonna try to shoot hogs with it.

Maybe to you. But, to each his own.

Very disappointing
I though we were going to see it shoot a pig.

It's not realistic. You put it down bait a pile and hope a pig gets to the exact spot and is still. It will ruin any meat that may have been eatable. It's just dumb. Period.

Missed that part as I skimmed though the video. I don't see how he is going to get within range of a hog but it's his time and money.

Besides, a hog is not an animal. It's a virus that needs to be taken out by any means.

Concept and engineering are awesome, but I wish he wouldn’t title or mention hunting, regardless of reason for making

my question is why can’t people post videos properly?

just to be clear yes i am going after hogs with it and it will be awesome

good question how do you do that?

kill a hog with that thing and I’ll tell ya how

Ps it won't be hunting. Please don't refer to hunting as killing a hog just to see how badly you can destroy it. It will be hog killing and there is nothing wrong with hog killing.

you got it

i appreciate the comment but have to ask what part of this is it that makes this not hunting ? if you dont mind me asking

Hunting is hunting for food or possibly a trophy.



After looking it up I guess sport is thrown in which would could be a very fluid word. Either way as hunters we have enough to defend without people videoing a hog getting torn in half for the shock value.

Zombie hunting or home defense........

It may work....but I wouldn't feel comfortable videoing the hunt and posting it online. I would also be a bit worried about the state's definition of lawful means and methods. Is this a 'firearm' or 'archery'....and how would a GW interpret your cannon?

its black powder i talked to the atf and game wardens its all good on none game animals

Sounds like your golden then.

Here is an article where a mountain howitzer with grape shot was used on deer.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should..

Dead is dead regardless of the means. When the brain stops working it can't ask if it was stopped by a .223 or a bomb going off, it is just dead.

The “why” is obvious - shock value/blood and guts.

Same reason guys blow them up with tannerite while they’re laughing and high-fiving.

I don't like hogs, but I think they deserve a clean quick kill if possible. I'm guilty of not pulling that off, and I don't feel good when they suffer. Ran into this a month back when we were night hunting and ran out of ammo and had one refusing to die like all of us do. It was messy and I will remember from that night forward to always have plenty of ammo and my sidearm, which I usually have but didn't on this night. Didn't have my pig sticker either so trying to finish off with a knife not suited for the task was not a memory I'll cherish.

Well which is it?

He should just shoot the wad at the pig. Maybe we could end the debate about knock down power.

If ya don't plan on eating it and kill pigs with it,,,,why not use it ? We don't eat all the pigs we kill.
