Where do I begin? It is not if this guy is going to get hurt, its when.
Giving him the benifit of the doubt that there is some editing going on (and that he actually wormed the tube to get old cartridge parts out) he is an accident begging to happen.
Nobody is tending the vent hole-plenty of good old O2 glowing whatever hot embers are in there.
When he is "sponging" he is directly in front of the tube.
Ramming home the load he has a good hard grip on that rammer- if there is a premature detonation, well good old stumpy never actually did much with those hands.
Stuffing the tube with grass/sticks/mud... Hell, why not a little concrete or some nails?
Finally, let's pour powder out of a one pound can right into the vent hole- hopefully when this guy goes to meet God- he won't take all of his audience with him...
BAH! :shake:

I've got to agree with Rebelyell when he says "Where do I begin?"
No assistant, no thumbstall, using an over hand and sometimes two handed grip, rather than the proper underhanded grip, No hearing, hand or eye protection.
Failure to worm, no wet mop, Pouring powder to prime straight from the source. Consuming alcohol while operating a field piece.
This guy is definitely in God's palm.

Did you notice the powder can is on the picnic table, right beside the gun?
It's a nice looking cannon. I'd like to live close by, so I could offer to take it off the grieving families hands very shortly after he kills himself and a couple of his kin. I'm guessing they'll sell it pretty cheap, what with funerals to pay for, etc.

I am not a cannon-cocker, but I have 2 buddies that are and I have seen them shoot their pieces and I have listened to them talk about safety ( over and over). This video made me nervous and I hope that the guy in the video rethinks his laoding and firing process and takes the corrective actions he should. I hate to see peple doing things that could hut them and others and give our BP fun a black eye.
:hmm: Yeah, we can criticize his "style" but quite frankly I thought he was making stuffed cabbage when he made the "load." I guess all of us old "red legs"who served in the artillery, remember St. Barbara the Patron Saint of the Artillery; think that she was watching over Elmer Fudd and crew. He made me quite nervous to see him going through his act of sponging and cleaning, but pouring the primer from an open # size can of powder, regardless of the grain size,is absolutely a spine tingler. Let's pray for this guy and wish him many more years of angelic guidance. :youcrazy:
