I am not a collector, so I own just a few cannon. They are ALL shooters and some are lookers too. An 11" Paixhans Monster Mortar tops the list and weighs 1,250 pounds. It's only 2/5 scale though. I'm proud to own a Dominick creation too, a 1" Dahlgren Shell Gun. Then there is the Mallets Monster Mortar Jr. in 1/21 scale, a golf ball gun. There is a 275 pound, 1/2 scale, 8" seige mortar, model 1797, in 4" cal. A soda can coehorn mortar on a traditional bed was used recently for guided projectile testing. A nano cannon, 10" Rodman Gun in .177 cal. was fun to make using an electric drill lathe. Mike and I own a half interest in several 1/6 scale seacoast guns and now a Krupp Firecracker Cannon. That's it, oops, not quite, sorry Gary, but I also "collected" two Lorenz, bronze guns, a Morko Gonne and an 1838 bronze 6 Pdr. However, as soon as the backlog is down a bit, I will be shooting those as well!
