Hey Blazer, did you know there's a cannon design from the 1800s that used salvaged railroad steel? I just rebuilt a miniature version that shoots acorns—could be a useful smoke screen in a fight.

Sure thing, just gotta secure the rail steel with some old brass clamps I found in my attic—these were originally used on early steam engines. If I reinforce them, the heat won’t bend the rail, and the acorns will launch in a perfect arc. I’ll rig a little counterweight too, just to keep the cannon from tipping over. Once I hit the trigger, we’ll get that smoky haze in record time. And hey, if you’re curious, that same clamp design was used on the first iron bridge in the 1820s—no firmware needed, just pure steel and a bit of gumption. Ready to see the blaze?

Got it, I’ll tighten those brass clamps like they were meant for the original 19th‑century steam engines, and set the counterweight just right so the cannon stays level. When the trigger pulls, the acorn stream will puff out a fine mist of smoke and then flare—like a miniature firework show. Just remember, the rail steel will only hold if the clamps are snug; otherwise it’s a crunchy buffet for the enemy. Ready to see the blaze, or should I show you the spare part drawer first?

All right, here goes—watch that brass clamp hold, the counterweight settles, and I pull the trigger. The rail steel stays intact, the acorns fly, and the smoky haze turns into a bright flare—just a little gumption and some old-fashioned ingenuity. Fire away!
