It's always a good time for celebrating or starting a little trouble when you have a cannon by your side. A full-size cannon would be a bit too hard to manage and bring along with you, especially to the office, but the Miniature 25 Inch Field Cannon ($150) is perfect. Although, it doesn't shoot little cannonballs (haven't tried), it certainly does fire and sound like the real thing using powdered calcium carbide "ammo" blanks. It's made of metal with a heavy-duty cast iron chamber and features an automatic charger mechanism and an automatic flint ignitor for rapid-fire realistic fiery flashes and loud booms. Your neighbors will love you for the complimentary 6AM daily wakeup blast. Who doesn't love sheer firepower?
