Here are three of mine. The one silver one will actually fire a cap that looks like a No. 10 rifle percussion cap.

I bought a small 45 caliber blackpowder cannon quite a few years ago. I think it was sold through Connecticut Valley Arms. This small cannon has a rifled bbl and shoots hornady 45 caliber balls. Just recently while going through some stuff that had been packed away for over ten years it has finally seen the light of day. Memory tells me that with 25grs ffg when it went off it would back flip. But as I suffer from chronic CRS I may be wrong. I do not have pics to post but the bbl is mounted on a naval style gun carriage. Using good old TP as wadding it would throw out the wadding and it would burst into flames. Thanks for the memories. tarasbulba
