Are you saying it's not a supply issue then?

Does Army and Navy have a supply issue with their cannons? VMI?

No idea, but then if they don't, that doesn't mean much because they have connections we might not have in that space.
Other people reported directly back that it was a supply issue. That's why I am asking. Do you know otherwise?

Supply issues for a cannon? Private Civil War enactments have louder cannons. Give me a break

I imagine there are far more Civil War era napoleons being used in historical demonstrations than M116s. But I have no clue how blanks are produced. Believe what the ROTC told me or not.

RE: The actual cannon
Private civil war cannons don't have a casing/shell and rifling, I've been part of the prep for those with the Lions Club. They're just gun powder and wadding.
Might be a dual "availability and cost" issue. Whatever, it's too bad, I liked loud boomer. Made you jump the first score for sure.
