In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

What is the actual law about constructing and owning one in the UK? You see/hear of companies and people with "t-shirt" dispensers that are used to send freebies into the crowd at music and sports venues - they must be similar in design, do they need licensing?

Reminds me of a vague acquaintance who lived backing on to some fields, a potato cannon and a few beers inside him. Probably best not published to protect the guilty, what I will say is the power of a cannon should never be underestimated.
