I hope Michl will watch my reconstruction of the Loshult cannon from Above. It is made of brass on a lathe, grinded, smoothed, hammered for the casting shape and polished. Next year we will hopefully geht the official proof shot from our authorities.

The technical data lightly differs from the original due to safety reasons in order to get the official proof shot:

Lenght over all: 300 mm
Outer Diameter: at the chamber 110 mm, at the muzzle 70 mm
Leght of barrel: 270 mm
- flight: ca. 205 mm
- chamber: ca. 65 mm
Caliber: from chamber till 100 mm behind the muzzle 31 mm, at the muzzle 36 mm
Diameter of chamber: 36 mm
Weight: 9.050 g

The next step is to reconstruct a carriage for it.

I am positive Michael would have apporved of your research and impressive recontruction.
Are you going to shoot incendiary arrows with it?

Hopefully I'll get the official proof shot next year. But there will be hardly any chance to shoot gun arrows in Germany as there will be no shooting range with an approval for shooting gun arrows.
