Here's my cannon, I leant it to a friend and he gave it back yesterday after holding onto it for a long time. I missed being able to send miniature cannonballs across the yard with the strike of a match, but now that I've got it back I can shoot stuff with it! I usually load about 10 grains of Pyrodex P into it and stick a buckshot pellet in there as the cannonball. I've also loaded grapeshot, I used #3 shotgun pellets and managed to put most of them through a coca-cola can. No, it's not the most powerful gun in my collection but it is fun! Yesterday we had some friends over with their kid, I managed to get my brother and his friend off the computer games and outside shooting cannons! They both had a great time blowing stuff up with the little cannon.
I also have a mortar, it's .25 caliber just like this cannon. I can't find it anywhere but if I come across it I'll put a picture up! I have a bunch of these that I made with my lath, unfortunately I'm out of aluminum but if I come across a some I'll make some more! They are a lot of fun!
