So, it's opposite of what it used to be? Interesting.
You're projecting again.

Yep. Those of us of a slightly 'older persuasion' *cough* have seen it all before and we did warn these youngsters against installing control and censorship systems based on thoughts and feelings. Ownership changes, always, and it doesn't take a genius to see those systems being used against the people who originally put them in place.
That especially goes for things done by government, btw.
It's rather sad that Cozmo would give most of our politicians a run for their money.

Is there any chance that in the future, Mary will get her hands on an M117 pack howitzer and ammo, for her use in the war against the squirrels?
Its small size makes it perfect for small game hunting.

Probably not. But I do have assets for a Civil War cannon and Gatling Gun. I've been trying to fit them into the stoty.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannons can fire pretty much anything that you can stuff down the barrel, so you have a lot of options for ammo.
Yeah, that's not really true. That tended to make them explode or seriously damage them. Or sometimes go in the wrong direction. Common misconception.

I am referring to steel balls, nails, nuts and bolts. AKA grapeshot.
No. Grapeshot was manufactured as such. Not just random junk. It was called that because people thought the smaller balls inside looked like grapes. It basically was like a giant shotgun shell that fit the cannon.

Correct, loaded into a burlap bag to keep it all together during loading.
Scattershot
An improvised form of grapeshot made of whatever came to hand - nails, glass shards, rocks - anything hard enough to cause some damage. This only worked at close range, and badly at that, as the ballistics of these improvised projectiles was very random.
I'm not talking about civil war era rifled artillery like the Union had in larger numbers, because that can only be loaded with shells that were made to work with it.
I'm talking about smooth bore, muzzle loading cannons.

The squirrels hold up in a beaver dam complex and MS uses the cannon to breech it then uses incendiary shot to set it on fire. After, she uses the Gatling Gun to mow down any that survive the initial barrage and escape the inferno.
This all takes place at a reenactment of the Battle of Clark's Mill*. MS is in Confederate garb and she designates the squirrels as the Union forces.
*Actual battle in Douglas County, not far from Springfield.
UGH, Southern Comfort. A few months after turning 21 I drank almost an entire bottle of it. I ended up sort of reenacting the pea soup scene from the Exorcist. Can't stand the smell of it almost 30 years later.
As a rednecks the Broinne Family must visit a Civil War battlefield once every five years.
