The bottles are overlapped by about 1" and it feels very secure.

They don't explode into millions of peices because after bonfire night or whenever everyone has fireworks you can walk down the road and find all the empty cardboard tubes with the wooden sticks on them :P

how to attatch the barrel to the chamber: get a roll of duct tape. start wrapping one end of the barrel peice in tape untill the bottom is wide enough to fit tightly inside the chamber peice. apply superglue and enjoy...... Wow that is a bloody amazing idea! Thanks! Got that bit solved now, just go...

You'd need something to bulk out the size of the barrel to fit in the chamber... ..Use remote ignition and don't let it get wet (no potatos) :wink: Could you explain the bulking out the barrel in a bit more detail with a diagram if you can be bothered :D Nah, can't be bothered with remote ignition ...

Could you make a combustion cannon out of cardboard tubing?

I have about 1ft of 4mm thick 85mm cardboard tubing and about 2 and 1/2 ft of 1mm thick 50mm tubing. Do you rekon i would be able to make a combustion cannon out of this or do you rekon its to weak, to be honest i don't give a damn if it breaks because its not like i'm going to get carboard shrapnel...
