LIVE FIRE Wall Gun: Long Range Sniper Weapon 1793 .91 Cal
Live Fire of the.91 cal Wall Gun; flintlock, smooth bore; loaded 2 oz of black powder.
Canadian Corps of Voyageurs at Canadian.corps.of.voyageurs
[Wikipedia] Wall pieces were so named because they were designed to be used along the walls of fortifications. They were equipped with a yoke at the point of balance, which tapered into a pivot, which could be inserted into several sockets along the walls, which would absorb the recoil of the piece and also provide a stable gun platform.
Wall pieces could also be mounted on very light carriages for service in the field, usually in support of the larger guns. They were also used on small naval vessels.

    The 7 p’s of military preparedness negates the chain fire issue. A felt wad between powder and shot or grease covering each cylinder fixes chain fire

    • @allenrichardson2956
      @allenrichardson2956 11 дней назад

      No. Chain fire is prevented by using proper sized bullets so that the front of the chamber is sealed, AND properly fitting caps. Most chain fires are initiated from the rear of the cylinder, through the nipple, due to improper size caps not sealing the nipples.
