This guide details how to use the X Products Can Cannon, as demonstrated by Edwin Sarkissian. It covers mounting the device, preparing projectiles (like M&Ms with a homemade adapter), using only blank ammunition, and safety precautions. The demonstration shows the Can Cannon firing M&Ms at a watermelon, creating visible dents but no penetration, highlighting the device's propulsion capabilities rather than destructive power.

Quick Summary

The X Products Can Cannon, mounted on an AR-15 platform like the Smith & Wesson M&P15, uses 5.56mm blank cartridges to launch projectiles. Small items like M&Ms can be launched, potentially with a projectile adapter, creating impact marks on targets such as watermelons. Always use blanks and wear hearing protection.
