Mr president I do not cling to either my gun or my Bible.... my gun is holstered on my side so I may carry my Bible and quote from it!

Sed tamen sal petrae LURO VOPO CAN UTRIET sulphuris; et sic facies tonituum et coruscationem si scias artficium

THe link is to some sort of breech loader begin fired.

The website has several different links to cannon but it looks like it is all in German.

I'm not 100% sure but in the site it looks like you need state approved training to buy black powder or fire a cannon, not a bad idea.

Allen,
In the left column click english - click on 1st photo - scroll down to 'The material', and play the video (this vid has been posted here before) of the guy showing how brittle the cast iron is on a competitor's product (with the help of a small sledge and an anvil) - there's also a vid of a bunch of barrels being test fired. There are a lot of interesting items that Herr Jan Schlottmann is manufacturing - take some time and skulk around this site.
Anyway, if you click on videos in the left column, then click on cannons, no.15 is the YouTube video of the 21mm breechloader that you have already posted, but I can't find any other info about this cannon on this site, although it's possible I missed something.

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.
