Master and Commander---the Cannons.
« on: August 12, 2011, 08:12:20 PM »
Those who have been around this board for a while know that our Own  Artilleryman and his Loomis  Battery was involved in creating the authentic sounds of cannon fire for the  Movie  Master and Commander.

In the past 6 months I have a become aware of two guns credit as being used in the filming of the movie.  I have laid hands on one, but wasn't able to inspect it real close.  We were hoping ot have this guna the Cannon shoot next week but it doesn't look like that will happen.

Does any one have any information on these guns. Who built them?  Anything?
