A use-able M1841 8-inch Siege Howitzer (64-pounder) (Useable Cannon) from the US Civil war with manual reload system, pushback, custom impact sounds and multiple shell types. Good for messing around or for larger roleplay/battle events.

This was created in collaboration with Prussia - full credit to him for forging some of the models and textures.
