There’s nothing unusual about cannon fire at Raymond James Stadium. Shooting a guy out of a cannon? Unusual.
To promote it’s new, pirate-themed, multiplayer video game Sea of Thieves, Xbox was in Tampa on Tuesday to fire David “The Bullet” Smith from what it’s calling the “Xbox Pirate Blaster.”
The 34-foot-long cannon reportedly took “The Bullet” from 0 to 60 mph in one-fifth of a second, sending him flying 200 feet and setting a Guinness World Record for longest distance traveled by a human cannonball.
Here’s video.
Microsoft apparently chose the Buccaneers home stadium for its fitting decor, including a pirate ship with cannons that fire when the team scores.
Sea of Thieves gameplay includes players' ability to fire themselves from cannons. The game comes out March 20.
