LOL Get some, Minute Man!

If that black powder charge has remained totally sealed it is possible that it could be touched off. No guarantees the barrel itself has structural integrity though and the ball might be fused by rust to the barrel. What a pipe bomb!

We have a whole bunch of old cannon on static display near here. I am so tempted to go out right now and apply a match to every touch hole.

I won’t. But it is tempting.
