It was mentioned several times in previous threads that Ghasts were the target TNT cannoneers were looking for. So far, none of these threads have presented any videos or pictures of such combat actually taking place.
Thus, the question of this thread is: Has anyone fired or attempted to fire a TNT cannon at a Ghast, and if so, do you have pictures or videos?
If you have, you will be remembered as manly enough to brave the PAIN FOREST.

Manly blood is both highly acidic AND highly basic, but I'm glad to see you're paying attention.
Sure, if you want to set all the tnt off before your meant to fire it and break the whole thing.
Not sure if lava negates the explosion breaking stuff, either.
It might be possible with lava. You'll only have a few seconds before the TNT is ignited by the lava though, so you'd have to be quick with placing the TNT and launching it. Good idea, though. Keep thinking outside the box! (tee hee)
I happened to have made such a requested video when Halloween update was first released!
I killed 3 ghasts before making the video but haven't really played with it since... It's rather difficult and slow to kill them that way...
The canon is at 1:40 (And includes MANY misses lol)
PS: Of course I hacked >.> It's obvious and I don't care, it's my goof off world so I use INVEdit to ensure maximum off is goofed
Edit: Oh I nearly forgot! I do have some vertical firing canons outside my Nether Base that are controlled remotely inside my safe glass Tower (Other section of the base from the cliffside canon in that first video)
The vert canons only require Obsidian, TNT, and plenty of Red Stone contraptionizing! No water necessary (Though is nice to have to reduce having to manually reset the redstone)

How do the vertical cannons work?

I have in a YouTube video. I don't remember what it was called but it had a ghast spawning right outside the portal and destroying a wooden base while on Multiplayer.
Umm... guys? Why not just aim for one of those rare outside-of-the-nether spawning ghasts?
I have never seen one outside.
As far as i know nobody else has either.
Ghasts have a small chance of spawning near portals. So, if you want some to shoot at, just build several postals close to each other. Aim cannon at portal cluster, and boom.
i tried it, its pretty easy. i only build vertical cannons, however, because the only time i need cannons is when my arrows cant reach the ghast, which is when the ghast is 500000 meters above you. which is when i use the vertical cannons.

Guess what I'll be trying tonight.
