I wonder if BNA took their inspiration from the Athens, Georgia, Confederate double barreled 6-pounder cannon?





Added: BNA also has these vids up on YouTube of their mini cork mortars launching M-80's. I don't know about this practice; it seems to me that if there was a premature explosion that the mortar could turn into a nasty projectile.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

If that's a recent pix, they moved it from the back!
