Its full scale.  1/2 lb of cannon powder and a Progresso soup can of concrete will punch through a dumpster.  Good fun at a shoot at the range with appliances and a car.  A liter soda bottle with marbles would work on deer.  Have a neighborhood watch sign on the back of the trailer.

Awesome cannon HeyJoe.

Neighborhood watch sign on the back of your trailer...LOL!

I bet under the right conditions/settings your marble grape shot could eliminate a number of deer at onetime!

Love those big navel guns and the stories you guys tell about actually being there when they were fired.

Here's some historic photos showing artillery being used when the government was experimenting with the idea of shooting someone to the moon...actually NASA originally stood for National Artillery Space Administration.

Do you have a limber for that beast?  I can find load of cannon videos but only one that shows a cannon under horse power being unlimbered.  What would be cool to watch is and entire battery being pulled forward, unlimbered and put through the firing order.

Being a civil war student since reading a 1965 national geographic about Five Forks I tried to envision CW artillery being shot while under fire like at the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg.  Had to be hell.
