Didn’t Dutch make bamboo cannons in Predator? I might be mixing up my movies but that seems like a reality.

I think salvaged powder would’ve been 4f equivalent too. :)
 
Guys,

There are two wooden cannons, as I recall, in the miltary museum is the archbishop's castle in Saltzburg, Austria. One is a hollowed out log and the other is an iron tube surrounded by wood and iron hoops. I have forgotten the dates and the labels. They appear to be from the middle ages. There is also a 17th century field piece with a limber painted candy striped red and white. The reason for the colors was the guns were plainly visible to commanding officers. C.M. :m2c: 👍

Yeah. It was a reality. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
