Top Cannon firing

[Thor]

Dont try this at home folks, but I had to do it and I DONT RECOMMEND anybody else doing a silly stunt like this! I fired the top cannon again today-Once! As I told before, I am the cautious type. Dar Robinson, the famous stunt man said, "if you want to jump off your house, jump off the curb first, then a chair, then a step ladder and eventually it will start to hurt" so with this in mind, I loaded a semi quib load with 2 grs of Unique behind a 115gr bullet (normal load is about 5.1-5.5 grs) and fired it, a bit anxious but all went well. Using ear and eye protection and holding the cannon FIRMLY with a towel wrapped around it, I fired a 3.5 gr load today, a bit more recoil. Next session 4.5 grs. I will get to a full loading but I am working at it very slowly......and cautiously! This fact is noted to show new owners that you could potentially hurt yourself very badly if you didnt know this could occur and you had the gun apart and popped in a round into just the top section, YES....it will fire! (unless equipted with a sear safety)
