Just learned that the Napoleonic 12 pounders cannon were made of bronze 90% copper and 10% tin.
12pdr “Napoleon” officially called m1857 12pdr light gun-howitzer
After Napoleon the 3rd… not from Napoleonic era.
Cool

I noticed it looked like the ramrod was used kinda like a flag safety. Nice.
Sir - at civil war reenactments for Musket shooting the musket ramrod is most always not permitted due to the safety concerns if accidently left in the barrel. (note the musket can be loaded with out this as its loaded vertically -the lose black powder simply falls to the end of the barrel.) Artillery is a bit different - it requires the wet sponge to extinguish any embers from the last shot (remember you are shooting 1 pound of black powder) and the rammer is also required to load the piece since the cannon is horizontal. The loading process of course requires removing the rammer. Thanks pard for the comment!
