AA Cannon Firing Demonstration

[Northgrant]

I thought that the English would have manufactured breach loader cannons in 1889, am I wrong? Or was this just surplus armaments used in colonial wars.

This one is an English 7 pounder mountain gun pattern, made in Kabul, Afghanistan, with Afghan markings on top.

Also I would love to see some hydrogen demonstrations. Using hydrogen instead of black powder.

[camerl2009]

@Tesselator hydrogen lol these are blackpowder cannons

[Tesselator]

Is that an oak pallet or pine?

[ragnarokisnow]

how did u make that

[ragnarokisnow]

wow

[Chance2345]

For a rather small cannon, thats quite a kickback, fire that at approaching Infantry, and its gonna be a bad day for them haha

[bullshitproductions]

shooting at living things would have been more fun

[crispin17]

nice, i didnt know they used to shoot chains. otherwise it was pretty awsome, one day i wanna make my own cannon and mabye a catapult.

We couldn't see any particular effect of the rifling on the canister round performance. Our rounds are not made to take a spin from the rifling, and they don't as far as we can tell.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice... One thing I love about live firing that you don't get in a video is the visceral feel of the compression wave.

Interesting to fire cannister out of a rifle. Do you see effect on the rifling?

[cannonmn]

>200 50caliber lead balls

Thanks, that's what we call canister. Grapeshot balls are a lot larger and not normally used in small cannons.

[gg066]

you guys need to try what they call grape shot in your cannon its like 200 50caliber lead balls

[jakobole]

Ya - thats a great museum. 'Knew they had guns when I went there first time last spring - didn't know that had THAT many ;

[cannonmn]

Glad you liked it!  Please let me know if they ever start selling off the cannons in the old artillery museum there in Denmark. I will come over right away.

You guys are on the fast track to becoming my new heros. Shouldn't this be titled AP instead of AA?

[cannonmn]

AA means "anti-anything."

[BSBrando]

[cannonmn]
