It's a cannon... not a mortar. And... I wonder why people used to use so much steel when manufacturing canons... all they really needed was a 1/2" thick sidewall.

Idiots self-confirming idiotic behavior:

Ted: "Hey bob, let's use this hunk of pipe as a cannon."
Bob: "I don't see why we couldn't."
Ted: "When we're done we should put up a web site documenting our stupidity."
Bob: "I don't see why not."

Potato guns are stupid. This is simply idiotic.

The reason they made such big cannons is because they sometimes got really carried away with the powder charge. The last thing you want is for your cannon to explode like some giant pipe bomb.
