It can't be. It looks too safe and people are wearing hard hats.

The ultimate mess cannon would be so dangerous and gash you should really be calling NARO every time it is fired.

And there's not enough people with beer in their hands standing around saying "Nah, you want to do it like this......"

none of the firing party is covered in burning lighter fuel post an ill advised attempt at a hot relight/second firing. no sign of cabbages, tennis balls, soup cans or other suitable projectile. some of you will have been to the following site - a gent who obviously takes his craft very seriously!
