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.

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
