Saw a couple of those shooting at the Big Sandy machine gun shoot in wikiup, az. Good fun.

Can you fire 12 gauge blanks in it?

Costs of black powder kinda have dampened my thoughts about getting one. at 26 dollars a pound if you can find it, it seem hard to justify.

I make my own 12 guage blanks with just some blackpowder and a regular wad. We used to shoot slugs but it's more of a hassle because you have to use fuse instead of a primer. The last time I bought powder I was paying right around $13 a lb buying it by by the case. I don't play with them much these days other than the mortars once in a while.

155mm Paladins, occasionally a 75mm pack howitzer (flag detail)...and while not a cannon, quite a few MLRS rockets

Does this count?

30cal pocket cannon. Shoots the same ball bearings that you get for sling shots.
Neat

Oh it is. I think the barrel is about 60° and I can get a good 300yds with three cap fulls.

TPIUWP!!!!

I've always thought mortars were the better deal... less powder, more boom. and you can see the projectile, not just the after-effects of the projectile on your targets.

Eh, real BP is nice, but honestly American Pioneer is better (easier to clean certainly), and an easier hazmat class. If you're buying it in case quantities it's about $14/lb. The only thing is, it's no good for blanks, but it'll shoot projectiles all day long.
