Cannon Systems – Fast Gun
All of the BB Cannons are being made with the “Foster Style” breech heads. In addition, we are now offering an upgrade option of dual thickness, tight tolerance, stainless steel barrels with all of our BB Cannon Systems. Big Gun cannons are coming soon!
We make several different designs of BB Cannon to meet differing warship needs and all are now made exclusively with the battle proven “Foster type” O-Ring breech. All of the BB cannons have pressurized magazines and spring loaded interrupter pistons, giving quick, hesitation-free rapid fire shooting. Just the ticket for blasting holes in the hull of the opposing fleets vessels.
The photo above shows the most commonly used styles: (from left, top row) 50BB Std height, 50BB Low height, 75BB Std height, 75BB Low height. These coiled magazine cannons offer the most in compact design and work well in 90% of all applications. The BB fill port is rapidly accessible under the turret cover. Best used in “single” mount applications.
Below the coiled versions are shown the 75 and 50BB Straight Cannons (Note: the 75 is shown without a barrel). These work best when mounting that “dual” or “triple” salvo firing from a single turret. Straight mag BB cannons have horizontal loading from an access hatch under a models superstructure.
The coiled magazine BB Cannons are all shown with standard 4 inch brass tube barrels. The 50BB Straight at the bottom has a 4 inch, double thickness, tight tolerance, Stainless Steel barrel, available as an upgrade option or as a spare item.
At left is shown our double thick, tight tolerance stainless steel “upgrade” barrel and the standard brass tube barrel. Both have breech sleeves installed. Also shown are O-rings, barrel nuts, and barrel safety pins.
Strike Models offers a variety of stock, “pre-packaged” BB Cannon systems made to fit our model warship kits and some of the most popular scratch built designs. A couple are shown here.
