The Big Daddy is a well made bit of ordnance.I got mine and was surprised by how heavy it was and how well it was made. It seems very safe and would be hard to damage even if overloaded. It does take a bit of practice to zero in on the optimal report but that has to do with the large bore and not the design. For my money you can't do better than this even for many times the cost.

Big Daddy ThunderMug
This cannon has quality written all over it. I agree, when I picked it up, I almost dropped it, this cannon is heavier than I expected! I guess that's a good thing. The reason I gave it 4 stars, is because I am having trouble packing it. I can't seem to pack it properly to get the "Boom" that it is suppose to produce. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the wide 2" opening. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm sure once I get this figured out, I'd be more than happy to give it 5 stars.

Big Daddy Thundermug
I pack a dry paper towel or two (with a big dowel) on top of a good amount of powder....then pack a wet one on top.
Took a few tries to get the mega boom, but this thing can really make noise.

Packing the Big Daddy
To pack the Big Daddy thundermug I use black powder (Fg or FFg), two and one half sheets of standard newspaper, a one and fifteen sixteenths inch ash ram rod and a brass mallot. The key is to pack the unit extra tight (when you think it's packed. pack it down some more). The first couple of times I didn't pack it tight enough and while it did go boom it was nothing like when it's packed sufficiently. The amount of powder needed can be determined through trial and error but is generally between two and three 35mm film canisters for maximum effect.
