I will use "Minifig Accessory" as Steve recommended.

The cannons I have are the one piece design with the crossed cannon symbol
on them. I can do the logo, but it will not look very good rendered. I tried
to use as many POV substituted primitives in the parts as possible to make a
good looking part. The crossed cannons will be pieced together and will look
like odd either in POV or LDraw programs. I try to make parts that will look
good in both, but I usually favor POV if I have to make a choice.
You can expect the symbol to take a few weeks of "hit and miss" time.
If the symbol were flat instead of curved around the cannon, it would be
quick to do.

yes, I believe you are correct.

One piece :-) (without the decoration...)
I suppose it could be considered a "mock-up" without the symbol.
