• Never use projectiles or wadding.

Not my kind of guy.

"The cannon was once queen of the battlefield. It was 5 percent effective against the enemy. Firing one round a minute, after 20 rounds and 10 minutes, one man would be taken out,"

And this statement makes me question his stature as an authority.

By the way, do we have an authoritative drawing (with dimensions) for either of the King Howitzer versions now?
