Punkin chunkin time

Been quite a few years since I saw a TV show about pumpkin chunkin. These people had cannons that bordered on field artillery. LOL, they were serious!

Those that use compressed air. I wonder why the punkins don't turn to mush. That's a lot of pressure hitting the punkin.

We did that years ago. Fire up the spud gun and blow stuff up

Alcohol may have been involved

As someone that owns a firework display company I've always wondered how far I could send an 8" pumpkin from one of our mortars before they start turning into mush on launch. An 8" display shell reaches around 800 to 900 feet vertical. Might be the year to find out. Lol.

Can you put an explosive in the pumpkin so it blows up in a great display when it reaches altitude Video please

I don't think that you can do that. If you do that, it isn't pumpkin any more, it is squash(ed)!
