Hi all,
I did a lot of Lego cannon building research, for mine new cannons.
see: http://news.lugnet.com/pirates/?n=4176
I googled up a storm. But I can tell you that this group is the mother load Lego
cannon design. I have compiled a few of the many useful cannon links.

So if my cannons look at all good, it’s because I stand on the backs of the
giants of Lego cannon design, The real pioneers!!
I know that I have looked at many more cannon designs out there, for swivel
guns, and mortars so if any of you, know their links, reply to this thread, and
we will have them all in one place!
enjoy

You’ve done a great service!
I’ve added a link to your post to the .pirates sidebar.
Cheers

Well, thank you so very much for counting me among the “giants” of LEGO cannon
design. You’ve inspired me to make more actually, and inspired me to spend about
$50 on bricklink this afternoon. Haha. I started off just buying a few more
bucket pieces (going to paint some pink ones black), but then I decided to get
backpacks, hats, and many weapons. Then I decided to not stop there and got many
other cool pieces. It added up quick but oh well. When I get them, I’ll be
building another few huge cannons, as well as working on some smaller ones.
Thanks again. Daniel Yuhas

Another good link!
The thread call “Home built pirate weaponry”

And in that thread is this post
http://news.lugnet.com/pirates/?n=2650
in which Richie gives the construction details
for his carronade.
I have made a slightly different version of his carronade
my carronade’s part list (not the mount)
qty part name
1 2489 Barrel 2 x 2 x 2
2 4032 Plate 2 x 2 Round
2 32062 Technic Axle 2 Notched (one out each side)
1 3941 Brick 2 x 2 Round (studs away from the barrel)
1 533 Cylinder 2 x 2 with Dome Top
1 4519 Technic Axle 3 (tight into the dome top back to the barrel)
1 4599 Tap 1 x 1
I am putting 4 of these on the TRS LEGOMALEE’s quarter deck
she’s “in dry dock” getting her fore mast moved.
