Artist's Comments

THIS IS AN INERT PRACTICE ROUND, its made of wood with an iron core and the metal case is used to store the round.

I've had this sitting in my closet for awhile, but I thought some of you out there might enjoy seeing this.

3in Tank MK.V-1 P M C 1941 (Dummy Rd.)

I assume this was used in the Sherman tank with is 3in cannon.

When handling this it feels really heavy, but only wieghs about 22lbs, I can curl 100lbs and this still feels heavy, go figure.

((Airsoft Beretta 92, shown for scale purposes only))

Cool, a home-made potato cannon. :P

My brother and his friends made one and named it Martha Steward. They were planning on making another one and calling it Ty Pennington, but have yet to get around to it.

Are you sure you're repling to the right image?

This isn't a potato cannon. Its a WWII Pratice round for tanks.

I know. I took a closer look at it after I posted.

It still looks so much like the cannon my brother made. And believe me, that cannon was powerful. I'm just glad that I never played whenever my brother and his friends did amtgard.

Be careful with the potato cannon. The BATFE considers them to be destructive devices.

Kim: When you glisten?! Could you be any sicker?

Not a potato cannon, not a firing device of any kind, its a practice round made of wood and the metal case is used to store said round.

I guess that I should have replied to the guy who thought it was a potato gun.

Trust me, you will like it. One of the early potato cannons my brother made was out of PVC pipe. It was so powerful, it became the original ones we had. It was named Martha Steward.
