This thread is dedicated to the accumulation of TNT cannon data. The TNT science thread is perfect for solving problems, showing off cannons, and progressing the science of cannons! However, it is very difficult to know what the top-of-the-line cannons really are. This thread will fix that. Now Cannoners in PVP servers will know the right cannon for the job.
Beneath these lines, there will be the categories and the cannons that hold the records. I filled some of them with independent research, but there are many open categories!
Feel free to request more categories or submit a cannon for a World Record!
To submit a Cannon for a record some information is needed Required:
Name of the creator of the cannon:
Name of the cannon:
Proof of world record: (video is preferable, but pictures will work)
The cannon MUST FIRE
There can be no modded blocks or TNT, of course Too Many Items and Worledit is accpetable Optional:
TNT cannon specs which includes
Number of missile TNT
Number of Fuel TNT
Number of Compression TNT
Total Number of TNT consumed per shot
Number of Rail/Engines
Number of Clips/rounds
Launch method (full block, Half block, same-plane, other)
Any other Noteworthy attribute.

I learned that if there’s a loophole, someone’s going to drive a truck through it, and the people in the truck will get paid better than the people under it. –Scott Adams
I have updated the list with independent research.
I am still looking for submissions!

As we speak, I'm uploading a video of the Sheepkiller, the 5 block murder machine. I'm going for the smallest cannon one. Took me hours to design it.
EDIT: GRRRRR! I just realized I could have lowered its volume to 8 if I had just put the water source under the launched TNT! One of these days I might do that.

EDIT2: I might re-upload because the quality came out atrocious.
EDIT3: Yeah, I'm re-uploading it.
Thanks for your submission! You have won smallest area and smallest cubiod volume! You are now on the recordbooks!
