That's not live fire, that's shootin' blanks!! THIS is live fire with a 30-pdr Parrott:

Look up Paulson Brothers Ordnance, then check their 30-pdr Parrott video.

Direct hits on APC's at a mile and a half!!

@stewie13 That's the proper siege gun carriage for the 30-pdr Parrott. There are also garrison carriages and naval carriages.

i'm not gonna ask why they put a stationary gun on a field gun case.
