He didnt. He built the cannon on sandstone, the “barrel” made of obsidian didnt blow up obviously.

Ah, Just noticed. You can however blow up obsidian in the new snap shot though. :) That’s why I mentioned it. Check out Sancarn. hes got a video on it.

You have to do more tests to get a good idea of average distance!

Do the same test, but with the TNT all falling into the same place. Then how about testing the differences between these results with the ones from this video?

Did you notice that you blew up obsidian?

This is very useful information. You should post the rough distances for each cannon type.

While I like the gravel for visual demonstration, a primed TNT entity will play out a little different. It also allows you to experiment with different support blocks like ladders, slabs, and fence posts — all of which change the trajectory of the TNT.

you probably want to test each cannon several times to get a more accurate average. Then if you go with CR0SBO’s idea you could launch sand from the same spots.
