Here's another video of the same carriage and a 1796 era barrel.

I also like their boresighting arrangement. Looks like it could be modified to fit any bore size.

A lot of nice video from Springfield Arsenal, there were several on U-tube.

But 3FG for cannon & mortar use?  On firing the British mortal, using wadding?, patches, and pounding the projectile down the bore?????????

They have lots of toys and a lot of luck!

  I second that.  I certainly would not use their videos for educational purposes.  But, they are interesting to watch.
