Rules for the challenge:

Something that suffers a structural failure on the first shot (Like the paper bag in the OP) is not a legitimate cannon, it's an explosive device that happens to propel a projectile.

The contest will begin immediately and persons will have 60 days (from Dec 4th to Feb 1st) to build and enter the contest. Remember, each build must be able to withstand at least 5 shots and these shots should be recorded. The entries should be posted in this thread and, at the end of 60 days, a poll will be added for voting.

The winner of the pole will receive The Ghetto Reward:

Are you kidding me? That is the most coveted award on the face of the planet, winners of it bask in the beauty of whats known as "The Ghetto Award"!!! There is no other, it should be in the Smithsonian Institution of art. :P

Sounds like fun, but what's more ghetto than a paper bag combustion?

Where will the bar be set this time? :)

Have to start searching through the trash I guess. :idea:

Remember, this isn't just about how bad it looks. It's about interesting ways to use odd household objects to work effectively... and how bad it looks. :D

That's a good idea. I'd like to add, no copies from the first contest, a new cannon should be made.

So Hubb, you bought this back up (good idea), whens the start and end yada yada yada?

Oh, I'll run this by PCGUY, shouldn't be a problem the 1st contest was approved.

Those were my first thoughts, but when it comes to ghettoness, this forum is very resourceful :)
