Thread: Cannon fuse

  1. #1

    Default Cannon fuse

    I picked up a small cannon built by a friend and would like to fire it next weekend, I figure I can get powder anywhere, but have no idea where to get fuse?

    Reminds me of a quote from Tremors.

    [Burt cuts off a piece of fuse for a bomb for Earl]
    Earl Bassett: What kind of fuse is that?
    Burt Gummer: Cannon fuse
    Earl Bassett: What the hell do you use it for?
    Burt Gummer: My cannon!

    I have no idea what you are talking about?? I like sparklers and snakes, and snap poppers.

    I used to buy it off ebay in 10 ft rolls. It was especially easy to find around New Years and the 4th of July.

    couldn't you just pull some out of a few firecrackers,

    Most firecrackers don't use actual cannon fuse. Cannon fuse is much more robust and is more than just tissue paper rolled up with black powder inside.

    I have some if you can't find any before next weekend. I would check some of the places that specialize in black powder guns. You going to the shoot on Sunday?

    Cannonfuse.com. I bought slow and fast burning fuse from them before strictly for educational purposes.
