A ''pneumatic cannon'' is typically a large-caliber projectile launcher that uses compressed air as a propellant. Other related terms are pneumatic weapon and air gun. May refer to: * spud gun, a improvised launcher, typically made from lengths of pipe, used to project potatos (aka "spuds"), which sometimes use compressed air as a propellant. * Dynamite gun, a cannon which uses compressed air to launch explosive shells filled with dynamite, rather than a more conventional explosive propellant. * Holman Projector, a mortar-like pneumatic or steam-operated air-defense weapon used by the Royal Navy during WWII. * FN 303, a compressed-air powered less-lethal projectile launcher designed for crowd control. * Numerous other, similar compressed-air powered projectile launchers, of all varieties. Other uses: * The M61 Vulcan, M134 Minigun, or other Gatling-type weapons, which do not propel projectiles by compressed air, but instead sometimes have their operating mechanism powered by bleed air when mounted in certain turbine-powered aircraft; they are typically hydraulically or electrically operated in other applications, without a ready supply of compressed air. This is a rare usage of this term. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pneumatic cannon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
