If it is meant to deliver sweets to kiddies you need to read a book "Shooting from the Lip" by Lee Hughs. Hughs was a Gunnery Officer, and after he got out wrote a couple of books regaling all and sundry with the myriad of shenanigans Young Officers and Warrant Officers got up to in those bygone years.
One Xmas the School of Artillery in Waiouru used a 25 pounder (or was it a 105?) to deliver quite a few kgs of sweeties to the assembled kiddies at their annual Xmas function. But Santa was a tad pissed, was a wee bit generous with the black powder charge used to distribute the sweeties, and levelled an entire playing field of kiddies with molten sweets delivered just a wee bit faster than was necessary, or indeed healthy for said kiddies.
