I have a 1.25in bore ships cannon, fires a 6 once lead ball a mile?. I do live fire it a some events along side a 9 pound civil war cannon, but I dont get to aim it, have too many other people that want to, and they hit the target a 100 yards(I all ways miss).
It does get used at some civil war events and has a nick name of LITTLE LOUD MOUTH, blank charge of 1oz powder and 1oz non dairy creamer.
I have just brough a 1/2 scale mountion howlzer 1.5in bore but have not played with it yet(too cold outside), but will get it to a range when it warms up, and fix up the carriage.
Time to save up to buy a full size one, looking at a 3.5in bore ships cannon??.

That sure looks like fun and loud.
My cannon can be heard up tp 1 mile away, we checked it out one time, 4 ounce blank charge and it was heard 1 mile away through woods. We were just out side the Wisconsin dells at a friend of mine.
The cannon is now known as Little Loud Mouth. Not sure about the mortar yet, but will check it out this year.

You have some nice toys!
Can I bring my little cannons over so we can play.
Keep in mind, they're fairly little so we'll have to be careful not to step on 'em in the grass.... :lol sign
Real small bore stuff, so don't laugh too hard.
(The top one needs to be taken apart and cleaned real well with a Dremel Steel brush, another one of those chores where I'm waiting on a nice "Round-to-it" to come my way.)
