That is awesome! I wish he had shown the projectiles. Can you imagine that gun in the hands of practiced competent  gun crew? If the British  army had bought and adapted it for infantry use, we might all be drinking tea today.

I just wonder how well the "square" balls shot for accuracy.  :*:

I would think they'd be subject to any type of wind.  :bl th up

Bad things happen for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you did something stupid.

Most interesting!  The precision with which the gun was built is amazing.
