"Minifigs ACWA 2 Parrot Rifled Cannon?" Topic

Hello everyone ,

Who can tell me of what caliber is the Parrot Rifled Cannon
( Minifigs reference ACWA 2)?

Thank you,

hi EEE' ya !

Are you looking to purchase this or is this something that you already have and what scale is it?

This is from Wikipedia. There's a lot more info there about cannon length and weight, also weights of charges and shells. Sorry, but I'm lazy. Hope it helps:

Parrott rifles were manufactured in different sizes, from the 10-pounder Parrott rifle up to the rare 300-pounder.[5] In the field, the 10- and 20-pounders were used by both armies. The 20-pounder Parrott rifle was the largest field gun used during the war, with the barrel alone weighing over 1,800 pounds (820 kg). The smaller size was much more prevalent; it came in two bore sizes: 2.9 inches (74 mm) and 3.0 inches (76 mm). Confederate forces used both bore sizes during the war, which added to the complication of supplying the appropriate ammunition to its batteries. Until 1864, Union batteries used only the 2.9 inches (74 mm). The M1863, with a 3.0 inches (76 mm) bore, had firing characteristics similar to the earlier model; it can be recognized by its straight barrel, without muzzle-swell. Its range was up to 2,000 yards (1,800 m) with a trained crew.

If you have it and know anything about ACW canon please tell me if it's a 10 or 20 pdrs, thanks.

hi EEE ya, I don't have it and can't find it anywhere to see what they are saying about it so that is why I asked the questions that I did.

IIRC, that is a 10 pound Parrot. What scale? 15mm had 10 and 20 pounders; 25 only 10. Again, its been 14 years since I cast any.

@Dye4minis
I suspected it was a 10-pdr as it was the most common type in field artillery, but I wanted to be sure.
