Artillery video

[pony express]

Drydock and other Artillery fans out there, ran across this video shooting cannister loads in a Napoleon cannon. They were doing a research project, had lots of shooting, some with "pattern board" and others they apparently soot over a field and track where all the balls impact. Pretty impressive, shooting in a plowed field and see how the shot "spreads"

Edit: OOPS, maybe I should put the link in!

That was extremely interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It would be very demoralizing to have to march into the teeth of a dozen of those guns firing canister and being run by experienced crews.

I don't think "demoralizing" would even begin to describe it!

Probably not for very long

"Demateralize" might be a more accurate word...Those fellows had guts!
