I made this little micro cannon from a steel scrap. It is 2 3/8 inches long and has a bore of 0.2 inch. The slug is brass. When fired, the barrel came loose from the base, and fell on the floor. No damage to it, I just snapped it back on. The slug went through two flimsy pop cans and was stopped by a soft pine board.
