    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    It just makes me laugh and I cannot stop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtfO-cLkxHk I messed around with this thing for months. Then I figured our there is a chamber within a chamber and a mouse nest inside that. It is louder than my 3-1/2 magnum 12gauge!

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    Update: I could not get it to cycle. Turns out a mud wasp made a home. It now cycles somewhat on shop air. I have the regulator BMWSYC suggested. We'll need to dig deeper to find out if it is a M3 or M4. Expect some banging to happen soon.

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    This one is pre-computer controlled. It was in a barn for 20 years before this weekend. The guy got it from another barn where he found it. I'm guessing 70s vintage???

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    Neat picture. thanks. The front cup was to hold a container that contains calcium carbonate or something. There was a drip pot that mounted on top. a few drops produced some gas that filled the chamber, then Boom! This does not have that though.

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    I'm going to do some measuring. I vertical 5lb may fit perfectly.

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    I did some reading and I believe you are correct. I'm going to get the adjustable regulator you suggested. My hope was that I could have a self contained unit without the hose and 20lb tank trailing.

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    I will be at Fleet Farm at 0800 when they open in the morning. Thank you! Did they run off the gas grill tanks? I wonder if they could run off the camping size bottles without a regulator? Easier to handle around the camp site.

    M3 or M4 Scare Cannon/Bird Banger

    I acquired a bird banger today. I believe it is propane powered. The company that made it is Reed-Joseph and is still in business. Remnants of the sticker are still there. I'll be calling Monday for a regulator or to find the operating psi. Here are the manufacturer's operating instructions...
