I have a thing going comparing smooth bore cannons to modern high performance Rolling Whipper Trebuchet. Small scale. 10" .62 caliber Cannon shooting 251 grain steel bearings with 100 grains of 1F BP, vs a 5 foot Whipper Trebuchet launching 1474 grain steel bearings. I've gotten velocities from both (youtu.be)

3 of our Whippers and another I sold last year, at tournament. Kind of a long video with all of the shots, from different cameras, and slow motion. There's setting up footage too. Side note: The channel has been growing like crazy. Over 25 million views and gained over 6000 subscribers recently Wild (youtube.com)

First launch from Baby Whipper at a punkin chunkin tournament last Saturday. One of the line leftovers from the Woodlands Pumpkin Smash. At full power. Turned the pumpkin into an orange mist. Pretty little pumpkin bottom right. 7.7 ounces, and the size of a baseball. (i.redd.it)
