Start a family tradition this holiday! The Big Bang Cannon is one of those great toys that becomes a family heirloom. I've had mine since 1960 and that cast iron carbide cannon still makes one heck of a BOOM!
These toy carbide cannons are safe, fun and legal alternative to firecrackers for children and adults at patriotic July 4th celebrations, New Years and all special events.
In continuous production since 1912, Big Bang Cannons are beautiful all metal reproductions of the field artillery used by the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. We feature 3 versions. The 3 cast iron cannons are finished in black with red wheels. Two models are cast in solid brass. All make a handsome display pieces when not in use. The larger the cannon the louder the boom it makes when fired.
NO GUN POWDER IS USED. Used outdoors, they produce a realistic muzzle flash and a loud boom! Bangsite (powdered calcium carbide), water, air and a spark mix to produce a safe (and loud) BANG. Easily operated by children and adults alike.
The BIG BANG CANNON was invented by a Lehigh University professor and was originally made of glass to illustrate the safe process which could generate a "BIG BANG" - without breaking the glass!
The were so popular that soon they were produced in cast iron. Today's cannons are still made in the USA and still produced using the original tooling. Virtually indestructible these handsome heavy duty replicas have become a family tradition for the celebration of July 4th, New Years and other special events.
Remember:
THE LARGER THE CANNON THE LOUDER THE BANG.
NOTE: BIG-BANG Cannons won't fire projectiles.
Putting objects in the barrel will only inhibit the full effect of the cannon's blast.
Big Bang cannons are simple to use. Before you start read over the instructions included with your cannon. The basic operation is:
BIG-BANG Cannons are safe and can be operated even by young children, but we recommend an adult perform or supervise the loading procedure.
