Basic Small Copper Cannon

<div align="center">SMALL COPPER CANNON
Ok, this is well... just a basic small copper gun, it is constructed entirely of 1/2" copper and is soldered together. The input valve is a small threaded schrader valve, the firing valve is a 1/2" ball valve, I did not solder the ball valve onto the cannon, I soldered a threaded connection to the gun then screwed the ball valve onto it, this is just in case I need to salvage it to construct another different cannon. I also made a second type of barrel which is sitting next to the cannon in the photo, it is a double barrel (obviously).
