Re: Cannon anyone?
How do cannons have to be secured? You'd need a rather large cabinet to wheel some into.

Re: Cannon anyone?
All that needs securing is the barrel which is usually easily removable, the carriage is not a section 1 item.

My understanding is 2 inch iz the maximum size you can own to shoot on the whole, and it will always be on an FAC as it is too short for a SGC.Blackstuff wrote:So if you can own one on an FAC you're free of the 2" bore diameter restriction having it on your SGC?

Or (In theory) You can get one that complies with the 24"/40" rule and keep it as a muzzle loading shotgun on S2 however your FEO may get a bit sulky about it if you fired solids.

Not happy! Would've been great if you could get a fully sized one you could tow behind the car!Hrun wrote:

40" OAL only applies to semi-autos and pumps only, but I know how innovative you are, so maybe you have something that needs some photos posting on here....Ovenpaa wrote:Or (In theory) You can get one that complies with the 24"/40" rule and keep it as a muzzle loading shotgun on S2 however your FEO may get a bit sulky about it if you fired solids.

Re: Cannon anyone?
I've seen live arty, tank etc advertised and only requiring a FAC to own and all bigger than the 2 inch maximum quoted. The most recent being a 7.5 cm Pak 40!Blackstuff wrote:Hrun wrote:My understanding is 2 inch iz the maximum size you can own to shoot on the whole, and it will always be on an FAC as it is too short for a SGC.Blackstuff wrote:So if you can own one on an FAC you're free of the 2" bore diameter restriction having it on your SGC?

In keeping with the thread you can now dust off those plans for an updated version of a Victorian era Rifled muzzle loading cannon!

True, SxS, O/U, lever and single barrel and bolt shotguns must have a minimum of 24" barrel, no OAL.Blackstuff wrote:40" OAL only applies to semi-autos and pumps only, but I know how innovative you are, so maybe you have something that needs some photos posting on here....Ovenpaa wrote:Or (In theory) You can get one that complies with the 24"/40" rule and keep it as a muzzle loading shotgun on S2 however your FEO may get a bit sulky about it if you fired solids.
