Yeah when he standing well away from the gun and well above it - it doesn't seem THAT big, in fact it looks rather small, then when it fires and recoils - Oooooo there is not much room in that loading pit.... and then when he gets down into the loading pit.... WOW that gun sure is ummmm HUGE.... AND WOW - look at all the anti static (highly conductive and earthed) copper components in the loader... AND look at the HUGE bags of powder... Did you you know that each bag of cordite (nitrocellulose blended with other things) has a sack of black powder sewn onto the end, because black powder is easy and reliable to ignite - if kept atmospherically dry.... It's impressive technlogy...
