# What a badly aimed cannon.

# It's reckoned cannons weren't built for accuracy, just as long as they were aimed at a group of enemies.
Also, American cannons were made from bronze, smelted down from things like candlesticks and such, due to shortage of materials.

# I still think hitting the ground first and hoping it bounces isn't a good firing strategy.

# The bronze ones can still be used today.
Whereas iron ones suffer corrosion and fractures.
I have a cannon.

# I assume yours is bronze too?
I think it was either the French or the British who used iron cannons. They used to have a handful of guys manning just one because they were so heavy.
