Why should the muzzle blast set anything on fire - it is forward / outward not sideways. As for the stability of the installation, watch and learn

OK. So I guess you lock that canon forward with the barrel through the port...not like the photo. Still might want to anchor that base it's on.....but I'll stay tuned and pay attention to the instructor as he instructs.

And it's bigger than it looks in the photos.
Old Ironsides • Overall Length: 14"
• Barrel Length: 12-1/2"
• Height: 6"
• Wheel Diameter: 2-1/8"
• Weight: 9-1/4 lbs.
• Caliber: .69-cal. smooth bore
It actually looks like fun.....
The only other model available in the series by Ardesa that would interest me is the Napoleaon III Field Gun but that's big bucks.........................about $635
