It’s used to make sure the vent hole is clear for the fuse and to prick a hole in the black powder charge for the fuse to be inserted into… Also made a bore swab/ramrod and gathered a little “ammo” for a gathering of friends this coming weekend. This will be the first time I’ve been able shoot it….much fun is to be had!!! This is the cannon. I had hoped to have a carriage made for it. I have gathered several pieces but just haven’t had time to work on getting it all put together….

Be careful and take some video With a maximum charge of 8 oz BP it could launch a 19 lb cast iron weight with line attached over 700 yards… Standard charge was about 1.5 oz BP. I’m starting out with around 1/2 to 3/4 oz BP with a tennis ball… Originally Posted by Sneaky I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Originally Posted by beaversnipe Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

Minimal from what I’ve researched….however, might shred the tennis balls before they leave the barrel…. Thinking about filling a few with silicone to make a “more solid” projectile… Originally Posted by Sneaky I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Originally Posted by beaversnipe Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

Some cannons are quite accurate, at least on the TV shows Super Cool First firing probably this coming Friday….pics and video to follow Edit: this is a short barreled smooth bore cannon….not rifles artillery This thing is going to make a lot of flame!
