All 104 guns doing a rolling broadside. Down one side and up the other.

The trouble with dispatching me to YouTube, is that after I watch the linked vid (which was great by the way) I get sucked into watching others ... and suddenly I realize 20 minutes or more have gone by while I wondered around in vid-land.
One I liked on this particular digression was GunCannonBamboo which demonstrates that boys will be boys, even in remote Fijian islands.

"Bamboo gun"
Woh! Can you imagine kids trying that here? They would have the cops down on them and lock up thier parents for allowing them to have access to sulphur. Good to see that somewhere in the world kids are allowed to explore and have fun, like we did when we were growing up in the '40's and '50's.

You did note, Mr Fulton, that the Fijian kids were doing that all with gasoline, did you not? At least from what I could see.
