@drewnickel? Very true. Still impressive in its own right and in relativity.

@codeagent47 but it ...
@codeagent47 but it uses over 2lbs of very impractical? blackpowder. which not only means it makes smoke, but it means it's half as powerful as it could be.

@codeagent47 its ...
@codeagent47 its easier to shoot a couple of 40mm shells at it and call it a day we have man portable cannons today that dont weight more than a couple of pounds (M203s or that new 40 mil hellhound round)?

Imagine the damage ...
Imagine the damage done with canister during Gettysburg. It was like? 20 pounds of rocks, glass, lead shot or anything else nasty going that fast toward an enemy.

In the words of Gen ...
In the words of Gen Imboden CSA the rifled cannon of both batteries, striking the ground at any angle over fifteen or twenty degrees, almost without exception bored their way in several feet and did no harm.? It is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of shells from these fine rifle-guns exploded in front of and around my battery that day, but so deep in the ground that the fragments never came out. After the action the ground looked as though a drove of hogs had been rooting for potatoes.

In the words of Gen ...
In the words of Gen. Imboden CSA I venture the opinion here, after a good deal of observation during four years, that in open ground at l000 yards a battery of twelve pounder Napoleons, well handled, will in one hour whip? double their number of the best rifles ever put in the field.
