Frequently Asked Questions

What is the X Products Can Cannon?

The X Products Can Cannon is a firearm accessory that attaches to an AR-15 platform and fires standard 5.56 blanks. It's designed to launch various projectiles, often used for recreational purposes like shooting cans or other objects.

Can you shoot M&Ms with the Can Cannon?

Yes, M&Ms can be shot from the Can Cannon. An adapter, like a cut-off plastic bottle, is often used to help propel the small candies effectively due to their size relative to the cannon's bore.

What kind of ammunition does the Can Cannon use?

The Can Cannon exclusively uses 5.56mm blank cartridges for propulsion. It is crucial to never use live ammunition, as this is extremely dangerous and can cause the device to malfunction catastrophically.

What happened when M&Ms were shot at a watermelon?

When M&Ms were fired from the Can Cannon at a watermelon from close range, they created visible dents on the surface but did not penetrate the rind. The experiment demonstrated the candy could be launched but lacked significant impact force.
