hand gonne vs. longbow.

Pronounced hand gunneh. First gun book I ever bought was by Held and published by Stoeger and was found on a rack in the sporting goods store. Held believed that in the late 1300's, after the crusades opened up trade with the East, Islamic traders brought the first guns to Europe. The Hussite Protestants in early 1400's held off the Pope's armies for decades by using these early weapons.

Honestly I've long wanted a gonne - there's a few people that sell them online, and they just look stupid slow and fun!
Could make a simple one using one of those Traditions mini cannons mounted to a stick.

I love the random Cussing...I imagine this would be battlefield-accurate.

I tried for almost 2 years to get therifleshoppe to answer an email about their handgonnes, to no avail.

I'll likely buy one of the VeteranArms ones in the near future...although I've been saying that for 6 or 8 months.

The nice thing is that there is no moving parts, so an Indian main gun is not a risk.
In the Prime series about Marco Polo the Japanese are using them against Kublai Khan's mongol army. It used to be free, but now it's only free with adds or $10 a season.
