  • does water go through the bore or through other openings?

  • @falloutpraiser Yeap, if not. the high rate of fire would turn it red hot

  • @Panzerargentino So thats why there was water coming out at the end of the barrel?

  • Is clearly seen that this cannon is water cooled.

  • Tony! I want to get this kind of video next time aboard! Thanks for everything! Greg Bishop, Navy League - Orange County
