It was hot that day we did the live fire,100+,but we had a blast.Five rounds of solid shot,one round canister,all fixed ammunition.We were shooting 1.5 lb. cannon grade ,slightly less that what the normal field load is.The gun recoiled 4-5' with the solid and 8' on the canister.The film crew had mike's everywhere but in the woods.My wife, Rose, and a few friends said they could hear the balls crashing through the trees in the distance.
