It sat next to the flag pole right across the street from I Corps HQs. We also had to clean it. If I remember correctly, the prototype or one of the early models had spoked "wagon type" wheels. It would be nice to have something like that in the backyard for 4th of July celebrations. And yes, we were required to check the bore before firing it.
