Ah, the humble cannon: humanity's way of saying, "Let's make a big boom and see what happens." Originally a fearsome artillery piece from the days when diplomacy was often settled with a loud bang, cannons vary wildly in size, calibre, and purpose. Modern versions are mostly museum pieces or ceremonial show-offs, though some naval ships still pack gun turrets that are descendants of these thunderous ancestors.
For specs, old cannons typically had calibres ranging from 75mm to 420mm, firing solid shot or explosive shells. Prices are a bit niche—antique cannons can fetch anywhere from a few thousand AUD at auctions to six figures if they have some historical mojo. Modern naval guns are, of course, another league entirely in cost and complexity.
