"Retribution" is a 2-pdr deck gun/signal gun built on a Muller naval
truck. Perfect for landing parties - Capt Squire sent a contingent of
sailors ashore in a boat with a small gun such as this to fight in the
Battle of Great Bridge. Also perfect for garrison environment. With
just 4 ounces of powder, she gets everyone's attention! :-)
For live shooters, six ounce juice cans with concrete or grapeshot
exit the bore with amazing force!
