It’s built of brass, and can fire tiny steel balls (3.2mm/0.126inch) with enough accuracy and strength to pierce an aluminum can, break an egg and shatter a light bulb from over three feet away. “The cannon was built and works exactly like the antique cannons of Napoleon’s time or the mortars used in the American Civil War.”
