I can only presume that GachoUSA is posting for reference for personal weapons, perhaps in a tactical situation.
I rather use 155mm, or 8 inch howitzer, for delivery of “shake and bake” (HE/WP), than the M203.
Unfortunately, I know of only one cannoneer, locally. He has an M1841 6 pounder. No shake and bake; just solid, grape (canister) or sabot.
If you think diesel is hard to flame, try JP-5.
Semper Fi, FRiend!

True, but you don’t usually hump 155mm or 8in do you? ...and if you do, could I see a picture?

Nice. I’ve only seen one cannoneer locally myself: he had an old Civil War cannon out at the firing range; a friend of his also made mortars which fired a big coffee-can filled w/ cement as the projectile. (Nifty stuff actually.)

Ah, doesn’t it need a catalyst? {Or am I thinking of another jet fuel?} As for diesel, I merely said that it’s harder to flame than mogas.

Thanks, you too.
