This thing is my favorite operable MOC in memory. I think it has inspired a new level of competition too.

Thanks!

Hrm, yes, well...

Range is a serious issue. With about 6-8 feet max, you aren’t going to shoot it across the room at distant layouts. I was fortunate to be able to hit the Train layout at all.

The Technic cannon is a very simple device, and it fires pretty safe rounds. But I’m not going to improve it’s range much unless I remove the rubber nose bits. I could go for something scratch-built and more complex, but frankly the firing mechanism is the best-engineered part of the whole thing.
