TIETHEKNOT Mini Napoleon Cannon Model Metal Replica Desktop Decorating and Collectibles

The hubby is retired Army artillery AND an Arsenal supporter so when I was searching for an anniversary gift it was perfect AND he loves it. It’s perfect and he has all the things that’s needed to fire. Can’t wait until we can fire it off. Will do an update when we do.

The model cannon came very quickly and looks beautiful. It's functional too! Holds not quite 10 grains of fffg black powder and fires a .17 cal bb. Not really gonna hurt anything. Just barely enough to punch a hole in a pop can. Super fun and well built.

The Cannon really cool looking even though it doesn’t work it still looks great. But the fact is it doesn’t work when I first opened the box at the time I didn’t know what I was looking at, but later, I realize what I was looking at was the breach handle separated from the breach. The breach itself was inside the cannon. The breach handle was evidently broken off during shipping and was sitting in the bottom of the box. That means if the breach handle doesn’t work, you can’t put the actual breach mechanism in the canon and secure it. I attempted to use some gorilla glue. Because I don’t have any tools to solder it and it does hold it, but now the breach is slightly too big with the glue residue around the breach and I’ve tried to sand it down, but no avail now it won’t even fit in the breach whatsoever. But the breach handle is now attached so there’s that good thing. Also, this Canon was different than all the other cannons that I’ve seen on YouTube in terms of how it works because in this particular canon, there is a metal cylinder that looks kinda like a bullet that goes inside the canon that’s kept in place by the breach. And most other ones that I’ve seen online there is no such extra mechanism inside of it so I would’ve been glad to see how the Canon worked with that inside of it, but will never know. It’s a good looking item appears to be relatively well-made. But it came to me broken, but I didn’t realize that until a little bit later, when I realize the piece that had broken off.

I bought this canon and the 2 mm canon fuse I needed to fire this canon. when I opened the package and found there were no directions or a simple way a person would take to fire this canon was in the box. I researched the canon size. my 2 mm canon fuse was wrong. I would need to purchase a fire cracker, break the fire cracker down and use the fuse and powder to fire the canon,WOW. I guess all I can say is thank you for the paper weight. Bert K, Ellis

One thing I disliked was the removeable charge cylinder, which seemed sort of sloppy and may possibly fail.. I fired it once with the BBs, but that seemed dangerous as there isn't much accuracy, and even with a light charge, the recoil could be enough to damage it as it's not super sturdy. I chose to leave out the cylinder, use some wadding, and stuff a Q-tip in the bore. It's a nice desk display, and it does fire. But please use caution as with anything that uses gunpowder. Use only black powder.. sparingly!

My husband thought that this would be a fun little cannon with which to amuse his best friend. Picture two 60-ish old bikers with not enough to do. They decided that MORE gunpowder was better and, in the fashion of two old dudes reliving their youths, they stuffed it full. Fortunately, everyone survived with all digits intact. Witnessing them jump out of their skins, though, as the entire thing exploded inches from their wrinkled fingers, made every dollar of money they wasted worth it. They are purchasing a couple more.

This is a neat paperweight and it does look cool. If you're looking for a desk toy to fidget with, then I would recommend it. I bought it with the assumption that it could be fired as advertised multiple times. First shot, worked great. Second shot, the breach handle broke off. Tried to solder it back on, but no luck.

The article is good, but once put on pedestal it doesn't show well being of small size. The purpose of individual components are not well explained. The cart wheel does not move. And there is a screw driver whose purpose is unknown to me. Wish it to be a bit bigger

Awesome item and well made
