Thread: Forgotten weapons.. Worlds biggest Black powder cannon

I was watching some of this guys stuff on youtube. A lot of what he does is actually very interesting. He did this ne on a 100 ton cannon in Malta and goes through the whole thing with loading, firing etc from the magazine.

If you are into Black powder it is quite staggering. 1 ton projectile fired by 200+ pounds of BP repeatable every 6 minutes. Range of about 5 to 8 miles....

Has anyone else spotted things of interest in his videos.

The ones on the Madsen / Rasmussen rifles were rather interesting too.

(What makes it humorous to me is he looks very much like a hunting buddy of mine except Ian (youtube) manages to do this without lusting over the rifles....
