Mythbusters , a programme on TV re-created a swedish cannon consisting of of a bronze /copper thin inner bore surrounded with leather wrapping to strengthen it. Did these exist ? The muzzle velocity was greater than a 'standard' cannon ....but the breach was blown out as the ball exited the muzzle. Comments from our experts (yes you mickail ) would be appreciated, thank you Regards David
