MODERATORS
how did those old cannons not tear apart their janky carriages? how did they not fly off the back?
Its on wheels in part so the recoil rolls it backwards.
I'm not 100% sure but it also looks like a fairly modern canon, modernity being the period from 16th to early 20th C
That giant ass vertical screw in the back looks pretty solid. If there’s a similar one in the front I’d think this thing is good.
See the screws? That's carbon-reinforced iron right there!
I’d imagine it looked less janky and more sturdy when it was new.
This reminds me of a stupid joke:
"Oh, my car's been flattened by a big stone, you know one of those massive, round stones?"
"Boulder?"
"MY CAR'S BEEN FLATTENED..."
You had an opportunity to actually make the text bold, and you missed it.
I concede, but the joke is supposed to be told verbally so I'm happy with my choice.
I support you and your jokes. Party on, dude!
It’s also awkwardly worded. You would say “a boulder?”
Though that leaves the door open to repeat the first line and put the letter a in bold. Which might actually be funnier.
We have to know what brand of camera you used to shoot this one !
Just a phone camera. A little older. I keep the lens clean and take about a 1000 pictures and pick out the best few
Oh it wasn’t a serious question. I hoped you would answer “Canon” for the joke
Brass cannon?
Cannon prices skyrocket as [email protected] users scramble to own one.
The canon market is a volatile one
It won’t work with third party ammunition.
It’s Ammunition-As-A-Service.
It only takes Canon balls.
How’s that fancy collision avoidance now?
