How do you do this I have always wondered.
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

What are the dimensions of the pipe you wish to cut? I've never tried, but I would imagine it could be cut on a table saw. With the right blade, I've ripped 1/4" aluminum plate with no problem. Spray her down with some WD-40 though and go slow.
That is if you have access to a table saw. If not, as killjoy said, the dremel is your friend

Bandsaw. Either that or a hacksaw and time.
Stupid quote of the now:
joestue "The chamber is rated to 100 psi, it don't say that on the side, but the 2 inch stuff is rated to 300, so by analogy..."
"only the last two feet hear the end is black cellular core"
"I'm taking it to 300 psi"

You can actually convert a cheap wood band saw to cut metal pretty easily, I got a book that shows how. You just have to gear it so the rpms are low and throw on a bi metal blade. Just thought I mention that.Bandsaw. Either that or a hacksaw and time.
Like frank said, LOTS of disk and LOTS of time, probably cost a lot too. It would be a lot cheaper and easier to use a grinder with cutting disks, and you can find a decent one online or at a discount tool store pretty cheap now days. That's your best bet.[/quote]while we're on the topic of cutting pipe sideways

it can be done but it's not practical in any way
if you want to do it to make a breech loading or something like that it would be better if you use copper or aluminium pipe

I think an angle grinder would be your best bet, as long as you don't mind a wide cut.
