| I have read that back in Napoleonic times a cannon was mainly spiked by ramming a wooden spike into the firing vent at the rear and cut or broken off as close as possible to the guns body to prevent removal but, as MG Mihalik states, there would have been many ways in which it could have been accomp... |
