Now that would be something very interesting to see.

What class of license do you need for cannons?

a mate and i did this back in the late 90s and also made our own black powder was a lot of fun

made the canon out of brass and we were very surprised at the recoil of the 1.5" one , but when

we got it to hit a plate on the 50m range it was impressive..... very .
