Seven Barrel.

[Brian C.]

I was at an 1812 campment put on by several groups near ThamesVille Canada. There were lots of stuff to look at, like these black powder guns this gentelmen had on display. The gun has seven barrles, the gun is 50 cal. he said that all barrels fire at once. He said not many people can fire this cannon.

Not legal in Oregon, has to have just one barrel. I don't know anyone that would be man enough to fire it, and if they did, probably wouldn't do it a second time.

black powder is more of a push than a kick

Seems like, to propel 6 50-caliber balls any distance, it would take about a pound of powder!
