notice no recoil?! even blanks have recoil

@kattowitz4 Actually it would push the earth off it's axis... Plenty of rigid mounted cannons out there. It's not just the foot pounds of energy, it's the time-of-transfer. way to sound authoritative while missing a key point.

thats what happens when i cum

boom headshot!

empty a projectile would have pulled the smoke out of the barrel at the end of the clip,not just drift up .

Agreed:
A shell makes the biggest difference in recoil compared to a blank
-
its a blank.

Nope that would not be sufficient enough to make this cannon 100% recoilless. The shell exerts the exact same force on the cannon as it would upon an impact with a target. If this was a real cannon the concrete it stands on would shatter. That's why most cannons either vent some of the force behind or simply stand on wheels which allow them to jump backwards a few metres.
I think this is just a very lightweight canon.

Now tryit in a purple shirt...
no shell...smoke would go out in a sort of flat radial pattern (kind of like a 'smoke pancake') between the end of the barrel and the back end of the shell, because the gas travels MUCH faster than the shell itself

This is the Noon day gun firing a blank, at Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, Cornwall, SW England. The trail next to it is a 25 pdr field gun, dating from 1956. Biggest field piece there of WWII vintage is a US 105mm Long Tom, also sometimes fired for the Noon day shot.
The biggest cannon there is a 64 pdr Victorian RML Miller Gun which our group has blank fired, with a 10 Kg charge, as part of a show covering all kinds of stuff from Roman Onagers through to modern.
