Actually, they have been fired in the vicinity of folks around my property at night time and once I shot the 30-30 into the rear end of a car...trying to steal tools out of my truck...yea...good idea
I live out in the sticks...no one just happens by my house. So if it is night time, our 4 little noise makers (the dogs) let me know, then I get up and "inspect" the surroundings.
If you are wanding around my house at night and get caught you'll hear "BANG BANG...who's out here?"
Thieves be warned, they are loaded, they are in my bedroom and the 45 is 12 inches from my head every night...break into someone elses house, you will not appreciate my hospitality. -

Here's my diagram I give to friends on how to make a nice potato or egg canon. Let me know if any of you want detailed instructions on how to build and what parts to use. Do not use the standard white PVC piping when making this. Some are a bit weak and may crack or explode. Use the black piping instead. I've never met anybody that has had one of these explode, but I don't ever want to hear of someone doing it the cheap and unsafe way. The sealant used should state it is able to withstand higher temperatures. It is not necessary for infrequent use, but continuous use or heavy repeating of firing will require something that can resist the heat better as you'll feel the chamber get warm after several firings. I'm sure it can be created out of metal piping instead, but it is heavy and get's hotter quicker and for longer periods of time. You will also want to find a heavy duty plastic dowel to make pins out of. It is not necessary, but it helps prevent the parts from separating if you do a shotty job of sealing the parts together. You may also want to make a plunger/ram to push the potato or slide into place for each firing.

I forgot to mention I have a tiny pipe assembly that I put an ingniter button in with 2 leads coming out to alligator clips. These clip onto the connection points. Now you have a trigger for your canon. Use solid large gauge wires and make sure the drilled hole is slightly smaller to give a tight fit. It is preferred to use quick steel to make sure the drill holes are completely sealed and keeps the leads from moving. THe holes should be about 3"+ apart. The internal contact should be bent toward each other leaving about 1/4-1/2 gap between them to allow a spark. If you want to know what propelants to use, PM me.
