The term “shotgunning a beer” takes on a whole new meaning with the Can Cannon from X Products.
In the “why the heck not” category is the new Can Cannon from X Products. Known for their rock solid drum magazines for modern sporting rifle designs, the X Products folks got a wild hair to bring something just plain fun to market. The Can Cannon is a complete upper assembly with a soda can diameter barrel. The upper unit contains a custom chamber, barrel extension and “barrel” with gas ports. The upper uses .223 blanks to create adequate gas pressure to launch the soda can down range. It’ll work with a full beer can too, but that would be a tragic waste of carefully fermented grains and hops, no?
In addition to no-excuses fun, the technology will be adapted to more practical uses like retriever training. The company hopes to develop similar versions capable to replicating gun shot noise while launching retrieval toys. Why not get some shooting in while training your hunting dog?
