Hand Gonne

Description

The hand gonne is one of the earliest-known man-portable firearms. It is essentially a small cannon fired by touching a slow match to a touch hole drilled into the barrel above the powder chamber. Hand gonnes typically have a small hook allowing them to be braced against a convenient wall or log.
