'Canon'

People I've met make replicas of historical cannons. Working replicas. This thing can shoot loudly. I'm not sure why is it allowed for people to own working cannons in a country where you are not even allowed to own a pistol without a serious procedure of getting a permit. Even though the canon is used for history shows and usually fires blanks, this is a high calibre weapon shooting cannonballs if need be. I believe it could easily stop a moving vehicle. There's an idea for 'peaceful' marches against the man. I wonder what would police do if confronted with a battery of these...



Enjoy your day! :)

Oh, gee, at first I thought they were collectibles or decorative pieces! I never imagined they could be used and worked. I think there is still much of his warlike, combative nature in man to demonstrate power to others. The smell of gunpowder can be addictive to many. However, it must be recognized that it is a well worked piece. Thank you for sharing these photographs! Greetings

Excellent photographs, @velimir, show us a true piece of collection, you can appreciate its shapes and details thanks to your good photographic eye. I will follow your blog to enjoy your good work. I like it.
