The Backyard Aquatic Bombard
This is the water cannon that provides a buccaneer-blasting stream of water. Inspired by the Royal Navy’s 24-pounder guns used during the Age of Sail, the barrel is made from molded poly resin while the carriage is made from pressure-treated wood for water resistance; powder-coated fittings secure the barrel to the carriage.
The carriage provides a stable platform that aims the cannon skyward. The cannon’s breech fitting accepts a standard garden hose, which allows its muzzle to “fire” a short-range saturating spray to repel boarders and adjust to a stream of water that soaks backyard bathers up to 25′ away.
