Thomas Stamford Raffles wrote in The History of Java that in 1247 saka (1325 AD), cannons were widely used in Java especially by the Majapahit.

But really, you should wear some cheap flip-flops, the shoes you wear to mow the lawn, or just go barefoot. Wash your clothes ASAP in cold water.

Despite being designed to fire at trajectories with a steep angle of descent, howitzers can be fired directly, as was done by the 11th Marine Regiment at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, during the Korean War. Two field batteries fired directly upon a battalion of Chinese infantry; the Marines were forced to brace themselves against their howitzers, as they had no time to dig them in. The Chinese infantry took heavy casualties, and were forced to retreat. [188]

Even if a product is completely natural and non-toxic (like cornstarch), that doesn’t mean inhaling it won’t cause problems. Cornstarch in particular has already been found to cause inflammation in the lungs. The mother-to-be in particular should stay out of the line of fire. Fox, Tanya Ray (31 March 2017).

Most notable was the practice of casting cylindrical mounting lugs, called trunnions, integral with the barrel. Set just forward of the centre of gravity, trunnions provided the principal point for attaching the barrel to the carriage and a pivot for adjusting the vertical angle of the gun. This permitted the barrel to be adjusted in elevation by sliding a wedge, or quoin, beneath the breech. At first, trunnions were supplemented by lifting lugs cast atop the barrel at the centre of gravity; by the 16th century most European founders were casting these lugs in the shape of leaping dolphins, and a similarly shaped fixture was often cast on the breech of the gun.

While there is evidence of cannons in Iran as early as 1405 they were not widespread. [73] This changed following the increased use of firearms by Shah Ismail I, and the Iranian army used 500 cannons by the 1620s, probably captured from the Ottomans or acquired by allies in Europe. [74] By 1443, Iranians were also making some of their own cannon, as Mir Khawand wrote of a 1200kg metal piece being made by an Iranian rikhtegar which was most likely a cannon. [75] Due to the difficulties of transporting cannon in mountainous terrain, their use was less common compared to their use in Europe. [74] Eastern Europe

pp.15–16: "References to early use of firearms in Islamdom (1204, 1248, 1274, 1258–60, 1303 and 1324) must be taken with caution since terminology used for gunpowder and firearms in late medieval Arabic sources is confused. Furthermore, most of these testimonies are given by later chroniclers of the fifteenth century whose use of terminology may have reflected their own time rather than that of the events they were writing about."
