Nelson's gunners could fire three rounds of the same gun in two minutes ...

@4:22 The actual firing :)

[@siredwardpellew5929]

Funny but that’s just a blank when they actually fired a ball it would have loads of recoil

[@dolsopolar]

You don't wanna fire an actual ball from that thing

What are the two sticks at the end of the video used for?

[@dakotamar45acp]

the ones they put in at the end with the ropes? lifts the cannon up so they can move it, there are wheels that prop up the cannon skid.

@@dakotamar45acp thanks!

[@jeffmorin5867]

I think these kids would fold under a proper volley...

[@leighrate]

In that I think you would be wrong. Also in time of war those guns would be revetted behind facines and sand bags.

[@roballman5726]

I cant believe they put a 24 pound baby in that thing

[@leighrate]

Nicely done.
Those drill movements are done that way for a reason.
