Black Powder Ball Firing Cannon?

Black powder rifles and pistols, reloading black powder, and other information. The smoky stuff.

Black Powder Ball Firing Cannon?

Post by Beechy » 21 Oct 2013, 12:50 pm

While looking through license classifications, I noticed that under my category A&B License, I can legally own a "black powder ball firing cannon". Is this simply legal talk for a muzzle-loading rifle, or can I actually perch cast Iron shot-cannons in my guard towers around my fort? ;)

From past conversations I think Warrigul is the resident expert on this... Hopefully he'll be along shortly.

I think you're right though regarding the "muzzle loader" classification.

Our club members are into cannons.

NSW has a diameter limit... something like .50 cal. Other states im sure you can have .75 cal
