Those two vid's aren't really related...
Either way both are good posts.
The guy in the first was just a fool, the cannon in frankrede's video is just amazing... but shh don't talk about it it's a calcium carbide gun.

I once used pipe joint compund what a misleading name or teflon paste to glue a cannon, even worse a pneumatic I tried to burst off all the parts untill I realized it was geting dangerous espetaiilly since I only have a tire chuck for filling so I scapped the parts, I still remeber the sound of the joints bursting sounds and look just like in the video, if you remeber the deus ex machina used a extra lager chammber that chammber was scraped from the teribly failed project, and the chammber once exploded at the joint and mashed the lower magazine cracked the reviver and flew 15 feet away it was the weekend before the contest, I fixed it but you can still see the cracks

Calcium carbide is a solid propellant. In almost any country such a propellant would classify your gun as a legal firearm. We try to avoid discussion of lawbreaking here.
