Interesting story...A friend of mine acquired a brass cannon. About 18" long and will take a one and a half inch ball. I watched him shoot it a few times with a wood ball. He wanted to go with a lead ball and I didn't think it was safe. Last time he shot it, he was aiming along the barrel when the end plug came out the back, about the size of a small hockey puck. Went thru his groin and was bulging out the cheek of his butt.He is a big man and it didn't even knock him down. He's alright now but I don't think he is anxious to fire anymore brass cannons.
