Fascinating!

The “coal torpedo” was very interesting and dangerous.

Men will imagine new and innovative ways to kill each other until the crack of doom. Imagine how ironic it must have been when Union troops charged into the crater caused by a mine at Petersburg. They found themselves mired in mud unable to advance or retreat. Like soldiers from antiquity who stormed breeches in fortresses, they were pummeled with the most ancient and elementary of weapons. Stones.

They show the USS Alligator, but not the CSS H. L. Hunley?

The double barreled cannon. Athens, Ga. parked in downtown Athens. Seemed to be a symbol of Athens government. Doesn’t work and is fun to scoff at. College town humor.

I remember a double canon(actually two canon side by side) being fired in the old TV show TEMPLE HOUSTON back back 1964.
Results were the same with the chain shot.. Injuns got thrashed by it.
