Different kind of gun at the end of the conflict that changed the course of warfare forever.

Cool! I used to live within an easy stroll's distance of Marye's Heights and the Military Park at Fredburg. I may have to motor down there soon.

I prefer my 10-pounder M1861 Parrott rifle. More accurate and a 2.9 inch bore takes a lot less powder to make a convincing BOOM than a 4.67 inch one.

it fired 12-pound cannon balls that would bounce And roll. Many feet were lost to these rolling cannonballs since they seem to be moving slow enough to stop by putting the leg down in front. Surprise!

Sam Watkins in his book 'Company Aytch' describes just such an incident before the (horrifying) battle of Franklin.

Cheaper, but not authentic or safe.
Dixie Gun Works artillery can only be safely used as lawn ornaments.
