I'll pass on the crew served Remington. Where do you put the wheels or is a tripod used to hoist it into position?

Firing a 1.109" roundball and a 10lb lot of powder could make for some fun

He Haw! You guys fell for that one? That's actually a regular size Remington . . . the two guys shooting it are just "itty bitty people"!

Wow! I think I found my new carry load:

A 28mm pure lead round ball over 10 lbs of -1FG powder!

Can you say hand cannon?

I'm sure the charge isn't 10lbs lol. But I'm sure you would need a 10lb lot of it for an afternoon at the range. Mount that sucker on a trailer. This has me wanting a cannon.
