Help on building a wall gun

[Big Al1]

Is this considered a wall gun?Where did you get the barrel?

I recovered the bronze from an old shipwreck prop shaft and machined it on a lathe. I think of it as a river or boat gun, something that would be on a rail, in a mast or on a long boat.

I got a Latin translation of "for violation of bolts"

 

[Commodore Swab]

A phrase commonly found on spanish cannons, roughly lightning/fire from an angry king.
