One of my friends/co-workers found this & posted it on facebook today.

Hmmm.... maybe upsize the caliber to 155mm & add a tank chassis & a armoured turrent to make it self-propelled.

That's not a bad idea...would certainly help the rate of fire during 'shoot and scoot' missions!  Would it make life easier on the loaders?  Would also make it a pretty fearsome assault gun, too...

Perhaps someone should photoshop in a picture of someone near the muzzle, holding an unfeasably large bread roll...?

That's his grill, barbeque is the food not the cooking device. ;)

Not everywhere.

It was spotted at a fall fair nearby in Waterloo region.

It would be an awlful BBQ if it actually went off like a revolver/artillery piece, mmmmmmmmmmmm, AP hot dogs, HESH burgers, Anti-personnel meatballs, etc. :o :lol: :rolleyes: :wacko:

The cannon/revolver combo has existed- see AMX-13.

As a smoker/BBQ that must be one of the most unique I have seen.  Must be a pain to clean however.  Maybe call Mike Rowe when cleaning time comes around?

Actually, one of those comedy science shows tried cooking meat with explosives. As I recall, the mess was huge but the meat didn't taste bad.

Are you refering to Mythbusters, as they too tested that theory out with the same results.

Not sure, it was either them or Brainiac.

Mythbusters did a show where they were trying to 'tenderize' meat in several ways, explosives being one of them.  Was that what you were thinking off ?
