Big BangŪ carbide cannons
- at big savings!
You probably remember these from
the days of your youth. Big Bang cannons have been in continuous production since 1912. We offer the
most popular models at below factory prices! These are great gifts for the junior
cannoneer (ages 10 to 100) and fun for the whole family!

Big Bang cannons are fired by
adding water in the barrel
housing and then inserting a measured amount of Bangsite (carbide powder). The powder
dissolves in the water creating acetylene gas. The gas is then ignited by a
spark....resulting in a safe and loud BOOM.
Safe for children. No gun powder -
No matches - No recoil
All cannons come ready to fire.
A spark plug is
installed and a tube of Bangsite is included.
All you need to do, is just add water! Instructions included.
