  • The oldest ship still in active U S Naval service.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 can do up to 6 "shots" using that method. the packets are packed around the end.

  • @AViolentCobra

    That method isnt reloadable.

    The Constitution has something like a set of 50-75mm non recoiling cannons that are reloaded using modern casings.

  • @EWAdams yeah dont even need blanks, watch how they simulate the HMS Victory Broadside, small packets of Black Powder strapped to the end of the cannons :)

  • @rockyson990 A rippling broadside then?

  • @rockyson990 A broadside would not rip Constitution apart if it was firing blanks. Guns don't recoil nearly as much if there's no projectile in them.

  • @fushheads A full broadside would rip the 200 year old thing apart.

  • Oh the skill it must have taken to actually hit something with that... o.O

  • Boats are boats too. I boat a canoe a boat store once. And they had no subs. I did eat one later on though. My friends in Kentucky calle hoagies. Some how they tast different .i guess hillbillys don't make sandwiches like the Italians in Boston do. Hey ! Why am I goin on and on about this?
