Well, it would be kinda short at 6" long. In cannon terminology, that would
be a 6-1. (The first number is the bore in inches and the second is the
barrel length in multiples of the bore.)
As I mentioned in a post a couple of years ago, a 30 foot length of 5" drill
pipe capped on one end and filled with a mix of oxygen and acetylene then
set off with a spark will do a reasonable imitation of a Naval 5-38. I know
that because a bunch of very bored roughnecks showed me. ( I also remember
what REAL Navy 5-38's sound like.)
I really do not need much thick wall tube.
