Hey, Freeky...You're wrong about science and puppies not mixing...

[Doktor Howl]

...I need to build a PUPPY CANNON, for holding off PITA enthusiasts.

[LMNO]

Large-bore PVC pipe, compressed air, lever valve.

[Richter]

Use old ice cream buckets to make pork product scatter rounds for crowds. 

With the right fusing we can rig these for airburst too

[Doktor Howl]

Large-bore PVC pipe, compressed air, lever valve.

I just happen to have all of those available.

4" pipe ought to do it.  We'll lose too much compression with 6".

[LMNO]

All depends on how tight the seal is, I would think.

[Doktor Howl]

Well, if the bore is small enough that you have to mash the little bugger down with one of those bore rods from the civil war era, that ought to do it.

[Freeky]

What? Oh, wait, what??

Why... I ju...can't... What?!?


What is wrong with you? I mean, like, how can you do something like that to a puppy?

What is wrong with you?!? 

[LMNO]

SCIENCE.

[Requia ☣]

what about a 6 inch bore and a sabot?

[Doktor Howl]

what about a 6 inch bore and a sabot?

Um, how do you propose to peel the cover off the puppy?

I suppose you could rifle the bore with blades.

[BADGE OF HONOR]

I TOO AM A PITA ENTHUSIAST!!!

[Doktor Howl]

I TOO AM A PITA ENTHUSIAST!!!

HOLD STILL

[Richter]

Wadding.  It worked for cannon and muskets.  Just cram a selection of old army blankets of salvation army clothes down first.  Less effective but more efficient to produce small scale than larval canine sabot equipment.

I suppose you could rifle the bore with blades.

3 piece foam sabot, tied with twine, you cut the twine right before you push it down the bore, the bore holds the sabot in place until firing, then it falls off the puppy.

Richter's idea would be simpler though.

Maybe a reversed version of the doggy cone could be used to maintain backpressure in the tube.
