When the Breach Loader came along like the Armstrong's in the 1800 that was a vast improvement on everything? i like to visit those coastal forts and gun emplacements and some of those Huge Breach Loaders are incredible. I noticed this cannon had a tapered outer barrel rather than the two ir 3 piece out strengthening?

Well the Armstrong was faster to reload, and the 1/4 turn interrupted thread was a HUGE boon on that idea.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_gun

I know I'm a Petrol Head but I must admit Cannon, Gun';s and Artilary in general fascinates me as well, I guess it has similarities with the ICE anyway? Interesting stuff.
