There used to be a place, Dixie Gun Works, where you could ORDER virtually ANY/ALL kinds of Civil War/Black Powder ordnance... They had a HUGE catalog chock FULL of Neat Stuff.. Like, f'r instance, a Black Powder Mousetrap... They had detailed instructions on how to fire Black Powder stuff.. One of their cannons was set up to fire Vienna Sausage cans filled w/Plaster of Paris...It had a range of "About a mile". Most of them, however, were likely only fired w/Black Powder loads & no projectile, just as noisemakers.
