HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Whilst on holiday recently in Cornwall I took these photos whilst visiting the castle on St. Michael's Mount. A 'breech loading' swivel gun late 15th/ early 16th century!!!!!!!!

I had never realised that breech loading weapons were being used at such an early date!!
Sorry for the quality of the photos as it was behind glass.

regards Kev
