Smooth bore muzzle loading cannons DD?
6/29/2010 11:49:27 PM
I seem to remember reading that smoothbore muzzle loaders were Non- DD. Is that correct?
I want an old pre-1900's style cannon or mortar.

IIRC if they fire non-fixed ammo they are GTG.
ETA fixed ammo = cartridge. Brass casing, primer, bullet and powder in a single package.
Non -fixed = separate bullet & primer.

Soo, could I have a breech loading rifled barrel that uses powder bags (Battleship deck gun style)?

You can build a breech loading gun firing smokeless and as long as it's non-fixed ammo, you're ok.

It's all about the fixed ammo.
Fixed ammo? It's a firearm.
Not fixed ammo? Not a firearm.

Yup. We should create a "whatzit?" flowchart.
1. Can it take a fixed cartridge?
If no, it's not even legally a firearm.
If yes, it could be a firearm. Go to question #2.
2. Was it made before 1898?
If yes, it's not legally a firearm because it's an antique under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
If no, it's a firearm. Go to question #3.
3. Etc., etc., etc.

The yes and no are swapped on your rifled barrel less than 16" IF-ELSE.
