While we all certainly associate cannons inevitably with castles and knights, they looked a little different from this model back then. The first to give the heavy cannons wheels was the Swedish King Gustav Adolf during the Thirty Years' War. So they were finally a little more mobile and could be used in a much more versatile way. Whether this was good or bad is a matter of opinion...

Fortunately, the Canon Wooden Costruction Kit is quite harmless, because it only shoots feather-light ping-pong balls. However, before you can enjoy this, you first have to assemble the 158 parts. Everything you need is already included in the set, so you can get started right away with the help of the detailed instructions! Since the assembly is a bit tricky and requires a bit of practice and patience, the kit is more suitable for hobbyists aged 14 and over.

By the way, this cannon not only protects life and limb of your fellow human beings, but also sensitive noses, ears and the environment. It shoots without fire, smoke or a bang, but instead with a clever mechanism that is operated with the help of a rubber band.
