A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

Wow, that must have been a sight to see! :shock

And good to see you in these waters again. Your work on the Build Canon effects is still very awesome! :cheers
 
Well fortunately my ears are perfectly fine, my camcorder supports up to 54x Zoom and the ship moored further into the harbour while I stayed on the pier lol.
Hence the delay between shot and sound lol.
 
Hehe. Even little 2 pounders can be felt in your chest and feet. Your chest is basically a hollow box so the air pressure waves resonate in there, and the cannons send shock waves through the ground so you feel them in your feet.

The largest cannon I was close to when it fired was a 9 pounder. I was maybe 3 meters away and behind it and it was quite painful.
 
Ouch! lol
I can only imagine how gun crews manning 32 pounders must have felt lol.

Ive actually booked a ticket to set foot onboard for an hour tomorrow afternoon before she leaves port, should be interesting!
 
Soooo.... she left port today.... and I managed to set up shot with my camera just a little over 200 meters away. Btw, she carries 6 pounders, and I both heard and felt that being directly downrange of the guns.
Still haven't processed the video yet but I grabbed a still from it.
