Passfire quote:
Large pieces of thick bamboo are cut to length, hollowed out (except for the natural end cap) and then a small flash hole is bored in the side.
Calcium carbide is poured down the bore and then small amount of water is pored into the flash hole just before ignition. The reaction produces acetylene.
Depending on the fuel/air mixture the canons will produce a small whoosh to a loud crack.

Just like "Carbid schieten":D
