[GETTYSBURGbook]

@CloneTrooper455 There is a great new book out titled: GETTYSBURG… OTHER TIMES

It’s about two soldiers and a nurse from other times meeting in Gettysburg on the first day of the great battle. People that are on this post would love it.

Check out the book at my YouTube profile (GETTYSBURGbook) or search Amazon.

Cheers...

[mechwarreir2]

So thats how the Europeans did it in the 13th century...

[patio87]

Are you kidding me, 13th century?

[mechwarreir2]

well i don't remember the date, but it was definatly before the exploration

[patio87]

I have no idea what you're saying. Are you saying that this cannon was a kind of cannon used in the 13th century? Because that cannon is more like from the mid 19th century.

[mechwarreir2]

no, the cannon was invented in the 12th century, during the European exploration, they needed new technology such as compass, astrolabe, etc.... One of these technologies was the cannon which was vital for the exploration especially during the 15th and 16h centuries.

[Biplane11]

I also have no idea what your point is. The gun shown in the video is a 3" Ordnance Rifle, introduced into service in 1861.

It is a certainly a descendent of the hand cannon used in the Hundred Years War; but then so too is the M-16 rifle.
