Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Can Cannon and how does it work?

The Can Cannon is a launcher attachment, compatible with platforms like the AR-15/M4, designed to fire projectiles using blank ammunition, such as 5.56 Blanks. It requires a sabot if the projectile doesn't seal the barrel for proper pressure build-up.

What are the safety risks of launching a grenade with the Can Cannon?

Launching heavy projectiles like grenades is extremely dangerous. The primary risk is the projectile landing unexploded within the blast radius, posing a severe hazard. The Can Cannon may lack the power for safe, predictable launches of such items.

Why is a discarding sabot necessary for the Can Cannon?

A discarding sabot is used with the Can Cannon when the projectile itself doesn't create a perfect seal in the barrel. The sabot ensures proper pressure build-up by sealing the bore, allowing the blank round to effectively launch the projectile.

What conclusion was reached about launching a metal hand grenade?

The experiment concluded that the metal hand grenade was too heavy for the Can Cannon. It traveled a short distance and landed unexploded, remaining within the dangerous blast radius, highlighting the extreme risks involved.
