We have some friends who are in a reenactment group who own a cannon like this one in the photo. Also, my dad has a small cannon he built many many years ago. Even my dad’s small cannon makes a BIG BOOM! haha I guess it’s a good thing Slow Joe Biden doesn’t know about those cannons?
I was reading the info on one I found on eBay. It stated ‘not intended to shoot projectiles’, just for making noise. But I have to wonder if it’s not built safe for that or if it’s a liability thing they have to say. I am also wondering if you can still find load data on these canon. I imagine it would be quite fun and expensive to work up loads and figure out range and ballistics for all the charge and shooting elevation angle combinations.
