20# parrot

[Poor Private]

A couple buddies of mine are/will be taking delivery of a 20# parrot cannon barrel to be fitted on their carriage this month. I was wondering if anyone happens to have a vedio of one firing? This cannon will compliment what they have already. 2 Mt. Howitzers and I believe a 1/2 scale 10# parrot. They are using them at civil war reenactments.

Check out Youtube. There's several ones of Parrots firing, including a full scale 30 pounder on a Barbette.

Captain Parrott spelled his name with 2 T's.

Where does your buddy buy ammunition for a 20# Parrott? Or does he make his own?

All they really only need is powder bags and wadding.
