This video tests a reproduction medieval hand cannon, 'Ye Olde Boomstick,' against historical armor. The 8-bore weapon, loaded with a 900-grain lead ball and black powder, successfully penetrated steel breastplate and chainmail. A buckshot load failed to penetrate but dented armor, while the integrated defensive spike proved highly effective.
