  • No we use whatever the most appropriate powder is for the particular weapon and projectile, as long as it is safe.

  • Why is Tanya with a bunch of old folks like you guys? She doesnt look to happy either. You can tell when she holds the cannon ball to the bucket.

    She has an uncomfortable face.

  • She's cute isn't she?

  • Check out our latest video. Put "cannonmn" in the search block and it pulls up all of them. Just put one up a few minutes ago, on how to move heavy cannons.

  • I agree, we use the cannon fuze since it is cheap and readily available. In battle, I suspect quickmatch, or later friction primers would have been used to get more instantaneous ignition.

  • Hi, yes we swab out the mortar with damp sponge and wait more than 5 min. before reload.

  • It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't have the first clue that it's not "Fire in the hole". It's "Fire in the hold!" and it's a shipping term for when fire brakes out in the hold of a ship (which was fairly common).

  • the ending to this is so weird. creepy old men.

  • @MikeSvent : Jealous?
