lol, looks like it would be too fun to play with in the PR of NJ..

[alec.mc 180]

Couldnt say, looks pretty cool though.

 

But remember, we live in a state where you cant even buy a firecracker.

Few years back (12)one of the guy's i worked with had a home made cannon, much larger than that one, we use to load it up every once in a while and let it rip.

dam it was loud, the chief of police would always show up afterwards and tell us to put it away..

The website says they have a range of up to 100 yds. That would be a lot of fun...which means it's probably not legal here

I have a feeling any day now "Potential to cause excessive joy" will become an evil feature.

You know, that is a really interesting question. It meets the NJ definition of a firearm, but does not meet the definition of a handgun, rifle, shotgun or destructive device. Is it unregulated? Give me some cites.

 

Adios,

I'm waiting for Dave, Smoking50 to weight in on this, I know they had a cannon at one of the OBRPC event a month or so ago, so he might have some knowledge on this.

That would be so fun to bring to the range and try to tag plates at 100 yards with indirect fire

AOW?

 

 

AOW is a Federal designation with no equivalent here in NJ. With what little I know about these kind of things, if it were classed as AOW, it would need a NFA tax stamp. It's black powder and small bore (.177" = BB) and thus escapes federal notice AFAIK.

 

Adios,

The $30 toy cannon needing a $200 tax stamp

 

Not rolling my eyes at you, just the concept.

[hiker88 22]

even if it doesn't fire, that would make a great paper weight on my desk.

Don't take my word for it, but my understanding is that AOWs are allowed in NJ from the federal perspective, though it is dependent on your town/the state. As for the stamp itself, AOWs are only $5.

I see where you're coming from.....unfortunately there's A LOT of things that are legal from the federal standpoint, and not NJ's

[raz-0 1,259]

It's a blackpowder cannon. They are not AOW. They are even legal in NJ. The question is how to aquire one legally, much like an air rifle. The rest of the country doesn't regulate3 them, so the folks selling them by mail aren't prepared to deal with us folks who have to deal with them in a regulated manner.

 

I think the simplest methos is to convince dixon muzzleloading in PA they need to stock these, and then swing out, buy one, and pick up some yummy dietrich's hotdogs on the way.
