Although why they would use FFFG in a cannon puzzles me.
They seem to have quite a few cannon shooting videos here.

Hmmmmmm.

a) ignorance.
b) death wish.
c) overpowered by the excitement of the moment.
d) all of the above.

It's one thing to possess, shoot and have a lot of knowledge about cannons.  It's quite another thing to possess the knowledge about how to shoot a cannon.

Wow, that was my Saturday evening entertainment.  I have been getting lazy in my old age (going on 71) and dreaded the seriously required cleaning of my cannons and mortars after firing them but after seeing those shots, I am now gung ho about getting them fired up once again.  Thanks for posting that - now I'll get off my tired old dead ass and get to shooting the spider families out of my cannons and mortars tubes.. ;D
No, I won't be using any FFFg or loads of that size.
