That's a clever recoil mitigation setup. I'm thinking of something along the lines of Peter's friend, a diorama of a Man of War gun port.
You are correct, because it's all fun and games until the words "Here, hold my beer, watch this" are spoken.:nono:

The track was to prevent the cannon flipping over on the uneven ground. I added the noodles as an afterthought because I had no idea how fast or far it would roll back the first time it fired a real ball
Nice! I have the last one made by my brother. He was a tool and die machinist. Solid brass barrel/Oak carriage ships cannon. Barrel .75 bore/18" long. Black powder blanks or 2 oz. slugs. Yes, they are FUN!!!
