Default human artillery

Maybe a bit off the tank theme, but I'd like to place this is Amazing Artillery catagory which I think a lot of guys will enjoy.. The "ammunitionist" must have a hullva lot of confidence in the math gurus.[:-]... absolutely mind boggling...worse, if he hit a dry spot on the way down the ramp..[:@]

That clip has been revealed as a hoax.

The Mythbusters did a show on it last year. A much larger ramp, tons of lubricant and they got enough lift, but had accuracy issues. They landed in a lake.

Edit:
I had it reversed, they were accurate, just couldn't get 115 feet. They also state at the end of the show (clip below) that they contacted the people who did it and it was all CG.

thanks for the vid....that was an awfully small target and a long range to land it a kiddy pool. [:@] Something didn't look right, so glad to cleared it up. Shows what modern tech can do with videos.
