Warning Cannon - Fire Trap - Scarer - Hunting

Old central percussion warning cannon - Collector's weapon This old central percussion warning cannon was once used as a deterrent against pests and animal intrusions. Generally fixed to the ground or on a wall, it worked thanks to a wire connected to its trigger mechanism. When an animal or an intruder hit this wire, a 16 caliber powder cartridge was struck, triggering a loud detonation intended to scare and drive away the unwanted animal. Devoid of any security system, this device remains potentially dangerous. The barrel should be cleaned. ⚠️ Sale as a collector's weapon: This cannon is sold exclusively as a collector's item and not for functional use.
