I'll just get one of those cannons you were shooting and be done with it. That'd knock a pig into next week.
Just make sure it's a "light load."
You know, I'll pass. That's just way too much for me. If I shot that twice I'd have a flinch a Daisy BB gun couldn't flinch.
Interesting thing about that: My father cut his teeth on rifles and in the early 1940s the US Army soon discovered that fact. He wore a "sharpshooter" badge all the way into Normandy. His advice to me was pretty simple: "When you pull the trigger, you're going to get thumped. It doesn't make any difference if you flinch all the way to next Sunday, you're going to get thumped. So concentrate on the shot and make the thump count." It's not very scientific but it it's a pretty good example of Midwestern common sense.
