Ever seen one of them "Carbide Cannons"??? Wonder if one could be retrofitted to a rail car?

Charles... not a clue on that one... but as they say... "where there's a will... there's a WAY"

Google "Carbide Cannon" or "Big Bang Cannon"... lots of them for sale at several prices (but kinda expensive! depending on the amount of detail).  Plus "BangSite" (the explosive load for them) is forsale places too.  The cannon supposedly has no recoil so it would be good on a rail car!

I used to read about a group that had R/C naval ships and they shot at each other with something, can't recall what though. Maybe a Google search? Jerry

Here is the web site for the warships guns. CO 2 used to propel a ball bearing. CRAZY!

While I can't seem to find the issue, I know that several years back that Garden Railways ran an article about a Big Bang cannon mounted on a railcar. Also mentioned how you could make a loosely constructed building or railcar with a mousetrap inside that could be trigged to explode (or maybe even use a LGB toy train dynamite car).
