## Description

Bangsite Carbide Ammo for Field Cannons -100 Shots per Tube Water activated for your mini cannon. Please see all included directions on package.

Review: Classic! - My father had a Bangsite cannon from the 90's, but he ran out of the carbide many years ago and stopped using the cannon. He seemed sad about it and couldn't find it anywhere. We got him this for Christmas and his face lit up with excitement like he was a little kid. If you have a Bangsite cannon and can't find the original stuff for it, here it is. I got him the original igniter too. Don't buy the off-brand stuff.
Review: Perfect for my vintage model cannon :) - Does exactly what it should, according to my dad it's just as good as the stuff from when he was young. If it doesn't work, you exposed it to air for too long, or you're not using water. The gas it makes when in contact with water/moisture in the air is what is flammable, not the powder itself. My cannon has a very small amount of water inside for a louder bang. More water makes it less powerful as there is less oxygen remaining

## Questions & Answers

**Q: this is the same calcium carbide that produces acytelene? im looking for something i can store airtight for camping and easy fires**
A: It takes H2O to activate calcium carbide which in turn makes acytelene gas, unstable gas that is very flammable. Putting water on a pile of wood to start it seems retarded to me when you could use some smaller sticks and a propane torch.

**Q: How hard is it to dispense tiny amounts? I want to test carbide lamps without using up a good-sized chunk from the can I bought in 1964 each time.**
A: HI.  The carbide in the tube is granulated so you should not have any problem selecting any infinitesimal amounts needed.

**Q: Is it powder? can i use it on a mini cannon? that fires 30cal bb**
A: It is a powder. It's calcium carbide, which forms acetylene when mixed with water. You should not use it in anything that fires a projectile unless it was specifically designed to use calcium carbide.

**Q: Am I supposed to mix this with water to use? Or is it ready to load and fire**
A: You have to mix it with water, but  It must be mixed inside the chamber to collect the acetylene gas.  Watch videos on YouTube for how to mix it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of fun
*by W***S on March 31, 2013*

Works great in an old Big Bang cannon I picked up recently. Make sure to follow the directions - if you're not getting consistently loud bangs, try blowing in the breach of the cannon between shots. I haven't measured carefully, but I expect to get much more than 100 shots out of the tube. The cannon I have takes a very, very small "charge." Lots of fun for everyone.
